rainbow bromfieldii

My bromfieldii seedlings from 2010 have made it through the regeneration safely and a little bit too soon. Looking at them now it is surprising how much the colors vary at this stage. I'd love to see them grow quicker and they would probably gladly do so if watered. Only during this dark time of the year they'd grow into cucumbers and we don't want that ;)
One-year-old lesliei 'Fred's Redhead' have grown a lot since the last time I uploaded a picture of them. A winter growth spurt isn't that welcome though. To avoid further growing in 'height' they still aren't getting any water. I really need them to go sleep now.

    1. Hello Sonia,
      I'm glad you like my blog, thanks!
      Those plants were getting new leaves all at different times, making them look so different! Their color is much more even now :)
