The outer flower bracts (the dark ones) have now started to sweep back and up, and the "whiskers" have taken on a far more pronounced shape.

Just over a metre Sticki - it's the spread that is more of a problem. Without all the canes in there so that I can pull the leaves up it would spread out about a metre and a half!

just amazing! maybe needs a tube structure of netting behind it so you could attach it unseen? if that makes sense?
