Description

It's now almost the same height as myself and looks like it is going to flower soon. I'm out there first thing every morning to see if it opened. I still haven't a clue what it is but it looks like it would kill in order to defend itself.

Nice close-up. H'mm, no idea what it is either, but those fuzzy bracts around the blossom should give it away. Strange to see a 6 foot 4 inch plant not bloom yet.

Make sure that you have your mask, goggles and improvised 'Noddy Suit' on, Rozanne, before you tackle it, and of course the charged hedgecutters... ;o) Nice macro, but were you using a ladder, or just holding your camera up high? Warm regards, my friend, John.
