This is my second year with this plant that I received from StevefromFrance on here. First year, it did not do much as I had it in too much shade, so I dug it up and kept it overwinter in greenhouse. I planted it out this spring in a spot with more sun and quite a bit more water and it has done very well. Although it is not as tall as Bikoro's, it is about 5' overall height. Here is a closer look at the bloom:

I used to grow these at MBG in Missouri. Yes, they are a boggy/aquatic type plant.

Guess I should have looked at the picture in the large size. I see flowers on Bikoro's too. Nice!
