I'm not quite sure just why I keep a pot of this going. I have to sit it on the floor when it's in flower. I do find the plant interesting in the fact that, to my knowledge, Onc. Elegans has never been awarded. However, it's F1 offspring have a very high percentage that have received quality awards. Anyway, I had my "better half" hold up the last few inches of the spike and it is inches taller than her 5'2".
