OK, my drama for the month. Or something.

Mike seemed to have an awful lot of the double purples, so I decided to take some off his hands. They got here yesterday. My, what a big box!!

The Line-up. (If these plants are 4 to 5 years old, then I must be 307 years old...)

Lolling around in warm water with a bit of Superthrive added for good measure.

Pots, pots. A little shredded mulch to keep the potting medium from drooling all out the holes---

Some perlite to soften the blow, I'll add my potting mix, this time it'll be about half and half perlite and peat. Or maybe more perlite than peat.

OK, this morning they got a little sunlight, tomorrow they go out under the overhang of the roof on the deck, where they'll get early morning sun, until about ten am. Let's all give a big cheer for these little guys, they've had a rough trip, and they're just babies. Another photo in a few weeks once they've leafed out.
