I measured last night...the bloom is 7" across, the spike is 7" tall and it starts from a p-bulb that is...7"!
Here's a pic of the whole mount, the space between the white bars top and bottom is 17 inches:

Well, you know we may have to stop meeting this way... don't want hubby to get his nose out of joint.., I've seen pics of the two of you and I sure don't want him upset with me... never know when I might just take the long way home and visit 
Thanks... You are a very special person, not only to me, but for many who visit this forum.... |

I don't mean to bring ANY sadness into this otherwise cheerful thread but when I think of D and something like a group get together.... you need to make the time to be there... I'm sure you understand. |
