Will be interesting to see exactly what I have here in south St. Pete since my Becce is just starting to show the tips of her two first spath/inflorescences. Will document the progress with some pics.
It was purchased in 1998 as an 18" tall specifmen in a 1 gal pot. It was upscaled once or twice before going in the ground around 2002. It did not miss a beat during the past ten winters with occasional lows around 31-32F.

It is not even close to being the fastest of the three. "windows" is much faster then both. I have found alfredii and madagascariensis to grow about the same speed in SoCal. The difference is alfredii and madagascariensis look good year round, where "Windows" looks bad most the time. I had one for a few years and even with tons of water and fert, it would always yellow. I finally ripped it out.

With regard to Len's comments about yellowing out, I was told that they have a rep for being iron dependant and so far neither of mine are showing this fault. I feed them normal amounts of nutes with no effort to increase iron.
John-
I know a had a photo of it shortly after it went in the ground, but &^% if I can find it. At any rate, it definitely had window panes and kept them for a year or two more. Will shoot some close up of the inflorescences if and when they open.

Definitely the one on the left - the one with the window panes.
