Thanks for finding this, Ki. I looked for a few minutes last night, but didn't have time to continue the search til I found it. I'll point Lin this way so she doesn't miss it. Think I'll read back through it to refresh my pitiful memory as well.

I believe these are the same seeds you sent me, are they not? White x K(something, something) purple? I have had one to bloom. It looked almost identical to Midas, I think it was. And several have buds on them now. Looks like one is going to be white. They'd have bloomed ages ago if I'd repotted and kept them watered like I should. I'm embarrassed to tell you that several are still growing all together in the same pot they were sown in. I promise to do better in the future... LOL And by future, I mean starting in a few minutes...here's a picture and as you can see, they need to be watered (and we won't even discuss repotting). I'll do that first thing today. :oP After looking at them when I took the picture, I think they all have buds. What do you do with the ones you don't care so much for? Trash them, give them away... You may have already mentioned that in this thread, but I haven't reread it yet. Now that they're this far along, I think I'll see how they bloom before I repot. But notice, the ones all crammed together are larger than the ones potted individually. How'd that happen? They were all sown the same day.
