Plan C.

Plan A - show how far the, one,  plant had spread in four years.
The arrow shows the farthest reach of the advance scouting party.
Plan B - start with a real close up. It stuck out past the edges of the biggest thumbnail.    : ¬ (
Plan C - a "distant" view of flowers.
At least Al got to see it flower. :¬)

I shall take this auspicious occasion to thank all and sundry for assorted ***, hearts, comments etc. They ARE apreciated, but I reckon saying "Thank you" to each individual in turn does little but apparently double the number of comments.
Likewise I'm not a believer in "Best viewed LARGE".
If you haven't the sense to realise whether or not you want to see it LARGE it's an insult to your intelligence pointing it out?

"Or a Meringue"?
