Ricky Horgan, 58, of Poulter’s Lane, has named the giant flower, which is more than 10 feet in height, Lillian.

He said: “She is a beauty. In July she fully exposed herself to me, her fragrance and blossom.

She’s given me more pleasure than anything I can think of. I have never had one this big, they can grow four to six ft maybe but she’s over 10 ft now.

“I don’t mean to boast but I think she is the biggest in Worthing and maybe England.”
