Thanks Adrian, I didn't think I was being hoodwinked but the round bulb had
me puzzled. Looks like I have a long wait for mine to be 1.5m tall.

Trish, the bulb is dryish on top, 2cm across, leaves not at all
succulent,
strappy, coming out from the top of the bulb. The longest leaves are
about
20cm long. It was given to me by my niece who in turn got it from her
friend who said it came up in her garden. She has large adult Ponytails
so
I am hoping.
Thanks,

It sounds identical to a baby ponytail I was given about 10 years ago.
It's now 1.5m tall, and growing very happilly in the garden!
