The flowers appear generally on the 20 cm top section of the spike. The average length of the inflorescences was 20.8 cm (minimum 5 and maximum 45 cm) (Fig. 4). A significant relationship with the number of flowering individuals (r=0.661, p<0.05, df=10) was detected.

The individuals develop 31.8 flowers on average (minimum 4 and maximum 84 flowers per spike) (Fig. 5). There is no significant relationship between the number of flowering plants and the average number of flowers per plant.

In many cases only a few or no fruit (seedpod) develops on the stems. The highest value was 33 seedpods per inflorescence. There were years when only 1-2 seedpods per individual were developed (e.g. 1994, 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2001) (Fig. 6A). The fecun-Years
