Andy and the monster plant

We had a long afternoon of monitoring today. Andy and I worked together. On Andy’s turn to measure we got row 35, which just happens to contain the monster plant. This plant has by far the most flowering heads in the garden. This year it has 15 fully developed heads and 2 pipsDSCF002600.JPG

It took about 40 minutes to record all the data on the plant.

The top head in this picture is a dud and the lower head is a pip.
