My Beschorneria Quicksilver (in a pot, and overwintered in the conservatory) flowered for the first time this year. Can anyone please advise me whether I should now remove the faded flower spike?

I've not heard of this plant, do you have a picture of it Caroleennis ?

Fab thing, Louise - google it for pics, but not fully hardy.

Many thanks for advice - have done. Yes, it is striking, isn't it? - couldn't quite believe I'd grown something quite so exotic on my patio!
