Glade you did not lose them all and more important hopefully you are feeling better.Was wondering how you and plants were doing since you had not been on in awhile.

things are starting to happen
here are the 2 pots of Kaleidoscope in the green house

here is Kaleidoscope in the Garden, as i have been saying it is very hardy more so then SD


here is one of the pots of Spotty Dotty (SD) in the GH, and in the garden maybe half look similar

They look good, I am probably 3 months from seeing anything here.

as i stated above the seed must not dry out as the whole tray did when i was gone for a month
approx 80% of these Kaleidoscope seed were starting to sprout before i left, and now i can not see a sgl sprout


BUT out in the garden where i put all the remaining seed they are starting to come up
they have seen a lot of rain



and all kinds of things are happening to them
snails, slugs and this fungus ???

Hopefully the ones I put outside come up, the ones inside never did. Mostly my fault as I did not do in seed starting tray just had added them to a large potted plant.

the little Kaleidoscope in the garden are looking good



and more are still coming up

They look great, mine are still under snow (quickly melting) and lots of sawdust!

Also snow covered here. Yours look great , hopefully some pop up here.

i just might start putting my seed out doors

Dick how have all your babies been doing this year?

Bob
you won't believe how someone or something trampled that bed of baby K's
broke most of their backs
just hope they pop back up next spring
got a lot more about to hatch
i didn't do a lot of SDK's last year but they are growing very well in the greenhouse
will have a few more hatching next month
the only other possible new baby will be Red Panda/Kaleidoscope
i guess i should get some new picts up of all of the above

All but a couple pf the Spotty Dottie's are gone for the year , hoping they just went to sleep early and come back next season.

Mine are all hanging in there, hopefully they will make a reappearance in the spring.

Look at all those seedlings.
All the spottys are still ticken and have sent out more shoots. They look as good as the day I got them from Strever 's. brood.
They have become one of my fav plants. So easy care,the deer and gophers haven't touched them and not a bug around any of them. they are really great plants. Thanks Again ! Dick

Figured I had better get a pic before the snow flies

i took these yesterday
K patch but is hard to see the broken stems,should have taken a closer image


new baby K's to hatch next month


last years SDK's


this years SDK's for next month


last but not even close to the least Red Panda/Kaleidoscope

RJ yours are looking good.
Dick hope you get something special from the Red Panda babies

.. Last spring I planted a beautiful new plant in my garden called Podophyllum 'Spotty Dotty' received from Dick . He has the best starter plants in my opinion.

Spotty Dotty's are looking amazingly wonderful even in late Sept. I recognize what a special plant Dick has introduced to me. Even thru the 100' summer temps the gorgeous leaves are as strong and bold as ever. This late in the season they look as fresh as a daisy, no tattered leafs or faded colors. They stand out in late Sept as if they were freshly planted. They have sent out runners for many new leafs and have survived the gophers, deer and moles . And … No slugs or any bugs bothered them.

This plant has proven to be an ideal plant with extraordinary qualities for a tough plant combined with beauty, color, and maintenance free. It's survived my garden riddled with bugs, slugs and critters. Spotty Dotty has proven to be an impressive plant. One of my favorites. Extremely easy care and that's really the best part.
It's a 5 star rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Below is a pic of the size of the leafs compared to my garden glove , leaf is over 10 &3/4" diameter. The colors and leaf pattern along with the size are striking , "A show stopper". I am going to order a lot more for next spring. They will be perfect planted in all the shady troubled spots in my garden .
Great hardy stock, very hard to find these days.

A big to Dick for introducing my garden to the best plant I have seen in many years.

Bea it looks like yours is doing great.

NJBob Thank you … they are amazing … and a stand out excellent quality plant. Will need more now that I am hooked.
