A mish mash,,,
First, the 82 'babies' I've been tending where I volunteer at the Botanical Gardens. Seed started May 5, so they're right at six months old. The first two that bloomed did so at 5 months. The others are stragglers, but then we had one setback, too dry then too much rain, owell! I'm there only two days a week. All from a pair of butterfly-pollinated pods on a grafted pink (??) older plant of mine. Some look more like arabicums, with fatter caudex and many branches, and some are just one main stem with no branches. So far, the blooms are pink. Gee. They are for sale, (here only, sorry!) for $10. About half have buds now.
