Pleasure of these plants is that they are just as beautiful out of flower as they are in bloom.

Works well, John … plenty of air around the caudex and support for the heavy mass of foliage.

Hi Maggi yeah so do I, the other plant has been flowering most of the summer, a real trooper this year. It's in a really sunny spot in the greenhouse. Now if I can get the other plant with the stems like columns to flower.
