Sure, Ken. It's a single plant with 3 trunks (really, a single trunk with 2 really low side branches). I guess it's currently in a 2 gallon pot? I haven't repotted it yet. Growth tip is about 5' in height.

Here's the "dwarf". About 4' tall at the growth tip, not a super fast grower, I've had it about 5 or 6 years, I think. It's largest leaf is about 1/3 the size of the species plant.

Here is the variegated F. lyrata. It's small - only about 12" tall at the growth tip, but very pretty. And doesn't seem terribly finicky (so far). It came with the leaves with the dried edges, so far in the time I've had it the two new emerging leaves are healthy. Time will tell how fast a grower it will be, but I don't expect it will be exactly speedy. :)
