Nice. If it gets big enough to divide...

 

[cnycharles]

It seems to be putting out new growths). I have to get it more light
I took more pictures from all angles sunday morning at work. Coworkers did a nice job watering it and others cooperated by not picking the flower or anything like that. I was going to measure but got distracted. Any shows around these parts? (Se pa, md, south jersey)

[cnycharles]

thanks

 

[cnycharles]

It’s in spike again! I saw the stems a few weeks ago starting up. A few previous pics were not good so tried again today

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Wow he’s really grown! Nicely done!

 

[cnycharles]

One of the two buds is growing so quickly, I think it’s going to open tonight!

 

[abax]

Stake that lovely Charles. If your longifolium is like the ones I have, the
spike gets so long with continuous blooms that the stem gets distorted.
A well supported stem blooms longer. My longifolium album 'Super
Charlie' has nine blooms so far and is still growing.

 

[cnycharles]

I used to have lots of stakes, now almost none. Have to find something ...


Today!

 

[Linus_Cello]

Good problem to have. Chopsticks?

 

[cnycharles]

I did find a small plant stake and remembered that I had a whole bag of spiedie skewers and I found a bag of long green floral wire that came in very handy. Although I did stake my hab medusae initially with a rusted off aquarium fish net handle

 

[abax]

Whatever works. I use bamboo skewers in the kitchen section at
Walmart. That flower is gonna be a beauty!

Way too short.
