My largest one, now about 3' across; I got this in a 1gal pot from Greg Starr in the spring of 2011. Greg or Marty, have any of your large ones bloomed yet? I'm curious how big this is going to get...size 9 foot flop for scale. This one is in all-day sun so looks a little yellow by summer's end.

Very nice. That's a non offsetting plant ?

[Melt in the Sun]

I have 3, and they all offset readily when they were in pots. They are all in the ground now, and zero offsets since.

Getting bigger (just shy of 4'), and still no flower for now. Both palmeri and v-r are later-season bloomers...so maybe it'll still make it this year? Maybe.

[Melt in the Sun]

Still cranking along...

[Melt in the Sun]

Closer to 5' now than 4...still no sign of a flower.

And again...

I stopped by the plant again today - pushing 6 feet across. They've given it a really stupid haircut for sure...you can't really see but it's on about 8" of neatly trimmed trunk.

First pic is the whole gang of misfits I planted when my parents owned the place - back left is A. avellanidans, then ocahui v. longifolia, 'Burnt Burgundy', and behind are striata and pelona x vilmoriniana.

Mine is still a young plant. Seeing the pics above, it seems that the young plants have prominent burgundy edges but as they get bigger, the burgundy edging get lighter and in few pics, I hardly see any burgundy edging on larger specimens. Any views?

[Melt in the Sun]

Yours is not the same plant - looks to match this one:

Thanks for pointing out, Melt in the Sun
I have gone through the thread you have quoted and I agree with you. Photo I have posted above is indeed not A. x'Burnt Burgundy', however, it was sold to me as A. x'Burnt Burgundy' and has probably been imported from Thailand.
