Sorry about the 3 bottom pics. I used my ipod Touch for the first time posting pics and did not anticipate the small picture size

Nice winter looks everyone!
Thunderegg is starting to bloom again, even with its bush full of pods!

That's quite a beautiful Thunder Egg, Chris. Seems like your flowers are pretty consistent - under artificial light, right?
Also a gorgeous version of Ragin' Bull from Darren.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Charlie, they are all under artificial light still. There is a south facing window, but winter in the PNW is usually overcast and drizzly, so the lights are still being used. You are right the color and big yellow splotches have been consistent, the form has varied a bit, but each bloom is eye catching and unique to my eyes.

Dittoes on Charlie's statement--both Thunder Egg and Raging Bull are incredible.

Chris, I'm looking forward to seeing your new setup. Your basement growing success using artificial light inspired me to supplement the sunlight coming in 3 south facing windows with T5 lighting. The amount of sunlight coming in was never enough because of the roof overhang and the large number of plants. The plants closest to the windows also blocked most of the sunlight from the others. The windows are also slightly tinted, don't know if that has any impact. Now with the sun moving higher there is no direct sunlight coming in. In previous years this was a major problem as it wouldn't be warm enough to move them back outside until mid to late April and the growth would get a bit lanky and need to be pruned off. I have lots of pics I can post if my back will cooperate and allow me to sit long enough to do it.
Darren and Erny, I still can't get over how much blooming you guys are getting outside through the winter and those fascinating winter bloom forms and colors.
