I have bloom number 3 of my little guys. This is Shindig.

I will have some of this to share too.

Me me me! Tom, your dwarfs all grow soooo well for me. You are my best vendor! And I don't have any pinks.

Though Greg's Muggles grow extremely well too, so thanks Greg.

And, uh, sorry Rob, guess you will be humming that tune for a bit!

I'd love a Shindig if you can spare it, Tom.

Got you both down, but it's not quite as pink as the picture appears.

That is fine, I like the pale pink I have seen in other pictures of it.

Great. Leslie. I came back to delete that Milestone post because
this is a thread about SDB's! But I just changed my mind when I
saw your post. Wish I had some little guys to show - but we may be done.

I am sure Tom will have plenty of non-tiny iris to post too after his dwarfs are done. And I mean PLENTY!

This is one you have to enlarge to really see how cool it is!

Here's a clump shot of my NOID Blue Plicata, Also one showing the other more purple NOID plicata. When I got these I was told that one was Stitch Witch and one was a NOID, I just don't know which is which. They were both planted at the same time, but as you can see the bluer one grows much faster. The pruple ones aren't quite open yet, so will take close ups of that later when they are fully open.
