Very nice. That's going to be one gorgeous plant with all those spikes in bloom at once. Please be sure to post a pic when their all open.
GL with the judging!

Thanks Judi :)

I was really just curious about the rules for judging a plant like this...I probably won't bring it down to the judging center :)

:(ahh, Sue, I would encourage you to share your beautiful plant with the judging world. In my book (and I am no judge), it would be a winner!!:winner: YOU! Regardless, thanks for sharing the pics. I laughed about the chlorinated water threats working...although...maybe we should have gotten the house with the pool.....:hmm

:waving Good morning :)

I just took a very close look and it seems that 3 of the spikes might not do much, if anything. They're the spikes which lie underneath the others and may not get enough light. I'm going to tilt this baby upwards a bit and see if I can coax things along :crossfing

Wish me luck:nailbite:

No matter what happens from here...I'm very happy :cloud9:
