15'


Today I was giving my friends Channing and Keyes a tour of the medians. It is always a refreshing perspective to have someone new look at this area. I was so happy to hear that Keyes was excited to see how well the plants are holding on.
I took advantage of Channing being there and asked him to stand as a human measuring stick.

He is 5'9". So the inflorescences is more than twice his height. The magic of photoshop allows me to feel comfortable in saying it is about fifteen feet tall. Turns out back on May 31, I was wrong, it had not reached it's full potential...




Notice too, that the buds are beginning to open and the bees are getting very interested in the thousands of tiny little flowers opening their way up the stalk.
