Erny your plants are looking great. Your LL has a lot more color than mine has been showing lately. Very nice!
David I was just thinking today about how amazing it is that all of these plants can be shipped in a box from CA to Vietnam for probably over two weeks inside and be able to survive. That is amazing in itself and then to see what you've been able to do with them this year is a whole other thing too. BP is still one of my ATF blooms.
Remember that VD bloom that you liked a lot that was real orangy? Today was it's 10th day and it looks like it has a lot more mileage left too.

Ten days!!!, mine are now struggling after 10 hours, its like someone just turned the oven on here haha, still I have had the most amazing month, 8 inch multiple blooms and 2 and 3 day blooms, its been a real treat and a treat even in my wildest dreams I never thought I would achieve, which has been topped of with me having 6 pods on Saffron and 6 on Thanksgiving all happily growing away. 28 days was the record from leaving HVH to my front door, 6 plants and 4 survived, at 23 days another 6 all survived, like you say amazing, but the real amazement is Cindy saying Yes nearly 4 years ago when I sent my letter, most if not all companies just say no but not her, ''we will give it a try'' and its changed my life. |

Hi all! Im finally getting some blooms to share with ya. You all have been showing some great January sunshine here on the forum, glad I can finally join in!  First up is a Cindy's Heart trio sitting next to the garden variety Sunny Wind that Im trying to make into a standard. Then I tried to get a decent shot of Thanksgiving, given the conversation we had earlier in the Thanksgiving topic... these are a bit better then the ones I posted before. next is for me to try to get a decent Erin Rachel shot... that one is difficult for me.. Anyone have a good shot of that one? |

Quite a difficult picture to take, its 2 pm and the sun is blazing on Acapulco Gold, you can see how the leaves are a little limp and in behind is the taller cutting of AG, 90f in the shade so in the garden with this sun the temperature would be off the scale.

Kristen,
to get the most accurate colors, place a white card, not printer paper in the photo for the first shot, take the paper out of the shot and take others without changing the settings. in your graphic program, select the white card as the white point and the rest of the shot will be accurate.
great shots btw.
Louis

Last day for Valentines Day bloom at 14 days (see pic of Vin Beaujolais plant for last pic)
Prosperity just continues to blow me away, another 6 open blooms currently all summer size and colors. Looks like a great mother's day gift for sure...for their mailbox set ups of course.

Cosmic Gold showing lovely colours as it opens. Hot Southern Nights and a Hot Pepper and a very nice Thanksgiving, it appears Thanksgiving may be a good pod parent, its allways growing pods and is now growing 5 I have crossed.
