OMG, pretty awesome display. Great growing

:shock: That thing is enormous!! And such beautiful blooms too. Does it smell? I have a similar looking plant (noid) that smells like lilac.

Whoa! That's a real beauty! How do you grow it?

Who's a clever boy then? Good one Roy! First a new car and now this.
Can I just make out my name written on one piece?

I reckon there is a strong possiblity Baz. Want me to send cultural notes also ??? N/C

Its in a 15 inch wire basket lined with shade cloth off cuts, the mix is coarse bark & perlite. Its watered & fed with everything else. It should get more light than it does ( about 50% shade ) but its doing ok.
Here is a pic from a while ago in situ. The plant is actually well over the edge of the basket also.
