Monstera deliciosa which was huge the leaves were about 2ft across, it moved in with my sister when I was a student and she had it until it died...her cat kept using the huge 1m diameter pot as a litter tray!

What a coincidence. Don't have a picture but our brugmansia is smaller than that anyway. :)

:) I had a 'dragon tree' house plant that was caught by a gust of wind and taken from the window-sill and dumped on the ground below. :( I repotted it from what was left of it and within two years, had grown to over 7ft. Must have done something right.

p.s. I like the Brugmansia pictures and have grown the beautifully-scented white variety. It grew to about 3ft.

A brown turkey fig, but its nothing to gobble about.

Tony, both you and your plant are healthy looking specimens. Glad you wore your regular hairpiece which suits your tan better.

Hmmm, if by largest you mean tallest then mine has to be Passiflora Caerulea. I have a couple in containers and they are my pride and joy. Much loved by bees and the fruits are so attractive. But I guess climbers are cheating? ;) ;D
