3js, the Typhonodorum lindleyanum is overall about 3 metres high, and the flower itself is about 60cms long. That's quite impressive for an EE type of aroid. I agree that it's regal looking.

I've been at the grass again most of today. Have made a big hole in it but there's still a lot more to go. The heat and humidity don't help, although the grass has been appreciating it. The temperature only got to 36C (97F) today but with the high humidity and lack of wind the heat index was 54C (129F). That's the problem when our wet season gives way to brilliantly clear skies.

Photo: can't go there with the tractor, so the Spear Grass (Sorghum intrans) is safe until the ground dries out.
