Our dog, Bear, under our Ears for perspective. We have since moved but took the plants with us. They were initially a gift from a friend and have done quite well.

Giant is right. I had NO idea this would get so large in one summer. It starts out so small. I love it though. Florida.

Each flower only lasts a few days. Flowers whenever it is wet and warm in central Florida.
