Lions tail,is approaching 10ft,banana is 16 ft to tip of leaf.
Just how tall will they grow?
Another shot
Your neighbors must be getting worried about what's in the soil at your place!
Ah! They just think I'm crazy!!!LOL!
Have flowers on them today,just goes to show you what can happen in just 24 hours!!!
What a pretty shot. I'm growing my first of these, but for sure they will not be the giants yours are. I can hope though =))
Well there so tall I can't enjoy the flowers!!!
I wonder if this has happened to anyone else?
Don, well, I don't grow one of these, but can you prune it? It will probably become more bushy if you lop off the tallest leader (just guessing here). Here's a link: http://plantsdatabase.com/go/58073/index.html
Or build a deck on top of your roof to enjoy them. ;)
wow! that is one tall tail :0)
Ain't that the truth!!!!
Tallest tale I ever told!!!LOL!
Even taller today!
Update,there's no stopping her now,over 10ft,I believe,this is really unreal!That banana is over 18ft.
Must be that hot Ks sun!!
Well you wouldn't know it today,nice northern cool breeze,and only in the 80's!
Oooookay...well, I just planted one of these. Right under my dining room window!!!! I'm in trouble...
Yeah..was that way here too. Was great!
I grew those once a long time ago...mine got tall..but nothing like that!
Tropicman,
..............There are a few different Lion's Tail but I would guess that this is the one you have.
..............Luckily I have the shrubby type because I'm sure yours would not stand the test of the winds we get on this hill-top =)

These are L. nepetifolia. They easily top 10 feet for me every year. I think I only managed to get 3 in the ground, and late at that. LOL Go Tman Go!!
Yep these are the seeds from badseed!!!,put them out in April
as little seedlings,then the rains came and they grew and grew and grew.
Scooter these are very bushy,about 3 ft in diameter if not more,the flower looks the same as the staircase to me.
Todays flowers!!!
There might be a pot of gold at the top!
I think it was Kell that posted Leo leo and the flowers are huge!! One of these days I am going to get cuttings or seeds of that one!
What is the heighth now, or can you get up there to see? LOL
Can't reach now even with the 6 ft step ladder,says not to stand on top step!!!!
So here's a pic to show how bushy one plant can get over 3ft wide!!!
Your banana is going to pull up it's roots and run!!
I think it enjoys the afternoon shade it gets from the lions tale!!LOL!
LOL You nut!
LOL! And proud of it!!!LOL!
Just hpoe I don't crack !!!
Sleeeeeeeeep, Sleeeeeeeeep....count some sheeeeeeep!!! If you don't get more than four hours a night you will be pushing it!
You are already cracked! It is falling apart you have to worry about. LOL
ROFLOL...I think you hit the nail on the head Badseed! ;D
Well I'm sort of napping now while I'm on the computer and watching a dvd called Intlerable Cruelty,with Geoge Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones.
Better not close your eyes for too long. The lion and the nanna will get cha!
How can I shut my eyes with Catherine Zeta Jones on the tv??
And to think she choose Michael Douglas over me!!!
Get back outside and enjoy that sunstroke! LOL
LOL! Work work work,is that all you women think of!!!!LOL!
Hey, *my* work is all done, well for today. LOL
