I echo what others have said.
Wonderful leaves and pretty flowers.

The leaves are quite different than any of mine.

How old is the plant??
I see two spent spikes.

My delenatii that flowered this past winter started two growths has only developed one of them.
My other seedlings are growing along very well. Two are in early spike at the moment.
 
Beautiful! and so well grown. Tell me David, do you keep this species pretty wet or do you let it dry a bit before watering?

The plant would be 10 years old or more now. I have flowered it many times - possibly 6 or 7 times.

Are they blomming now?

Yes , it is in bloom at the moment. We have our spring show this weekend, so hopefully it will make it. I thought the flowers were quite short lived in this species, but they seem to last a fair while on this clone - maybe 6 weeks.

It probably stays pretty wet. I grow it on the bottom bench, where plants don't tend to dry out that much between waterings. It is a good tough plant this one.
