This plant was in the group that Clark wanted to get rid of, so I kept it to see what it might look like. It’s in spike!

Here’s the spike today, I put the plant under a light to hopefully boost it a bit since it was in a shady spot before

The bud is still growing, but now I’m traveling to New Mexico to visit my mother for two weeks. I have a feeling it’s going to flower when I’m gone, so I took it to work where someone can water it and take pics if it flowers

;) I couuuuuld.....

sadly, I just discovered that it’s too early at the Dallas airport for barbecue, they’re only serving breakfast (crying)

spoke too soon! There was a new place near my exit gate, not listed on the restaurant page, and they opened up for lunch just as I arrived! :D

Nice image! I hope the plant cooperates and is very slow to flower. I won’t be where it is until dec 8th though I have asked a few people at work to water it and send me pictures if it opens before I get back. I don’t think it will approach opening before a week passes
 
Well! I didn’t think the flower would open before a week went by, but my supervisor at work sent me these two images this morning. It’s a really big flower! I still won’t be back there til Sunday so I hope the flower holds
