Yowzers! Not sure if I should gawk in wide wonder or hide under my bed...I'm in awe of this plant--Is the corky trunk-like protrusion behind the flower part of the plant?

Yes, new growths on top and side with the flower.

Hi Casper you have a pretty flower in my favorite color too

Thanks for showing him again

Love the flower and the contrast between the flower and the plant.Kathi

That thing is incredible! How old is that plant?

Tom

Thanks Kathi, Mrlike2U (good mem.)

Not sure Tom, my guess would be 6-8y, but I may be off target by another 2.
