Default Acanthus

The message
from "Clive in Kent" contains these words:

Hi all,


Lots of foliage but no flower spikes on my acanthus this year!


Anyone any ideas why this should be???


Dunno - I have several plants which *LOOK* like acanthus, grown from
sweet tamarind beans (not the tamarind tree, whose leaves resemble
accacia) and these have never flowered - mind you, they're only two
years old.

I've looked in all sorts of books, but can't find any info on sweet
tamarinds. (I can recommend them though...)
