It won't be long Cliff, before you will see the unfrozen ground again. You have been getting some really cold weather this winter. I see some of the South will be getting a warm-up in a few days. Hurray!

Hi Cliff. Nice photo. That is beginning to look like it could be Niphetos. It must be a heavy producer?

Let's make sure Peter see this photo. @banker07

I agree the spring-appearance looks like a dark Niphetos....let's see how it developes in the next several weeks;

the outer leaves have to turn more to green like this one:

Thank you Peter.

Cliff, keep us updated on the changes. Hopefully it will continue in the direction of Niphetos characteristics. I can already see green coming on in your above photo.

took these this morning, just before it started to rain and i didn't want to get wet. been battling a cold & allergy thing for almost a month now Grumbling Grumbling
i still have a layer to go til i get to 1 layer. its planted in a hospital p pan and this will be 2nd year from a start w/1 chick attached so it is a heavy producer so far, largest is about 2" but they are crowded up a lot. should get a bit larger. going to put 1 in a pot and keep the chicks cut off from that 1. see how big it will get.

That last photo is looking more promising Cliff.
I am sorry to hear that you have been sick. Have you been to the doctor? That's a long time to be sick. Sad
Sorry, it's the mother hen in me to worry. Smiling

That is a lot of chicks! Will be fun to see how big the individual one will get.

Take care of yourself and hope you feel better real soon. Group hug
