Remember this photo I posted in Sept last year which raised some questions that couldn't be answered.Last night the spear fell down & broke into 4 pieces.We put it back together & it measured 14 ft 31/2 ins in length & the circumference of the stem was 71/2ins & the flower part was 12ins.

I tried a few times last week to take a photo of it but it was always raining.

1 the original photo

2 the broken pieces

3 spear put back together again

4 Its taking way too long to load the photos so I will do the rest later.The thorn like bits are the seed pods .The seeds are about 1cm long thin black leaf shaped .
