So many of mine are in such small containers (2" maybe) that i could never stick my finger in it.
I also go by them "looking dry in top"--but I also pick the containers up and go by weight.
That is almost a better gauge of how dry any given pot is.

Anyway--wanted to show you one of my started (Dec, 2011) "baby" CC's blooming.
This one I had labeled: "Deep pink with white accents". It does not show much white anywhere on it..
The picture shows more white than there is. May just be a reflection? I would, almost, call this one
"solid pink". (pic.#1)

The other one has not opened fully yet. (picx. #2) The fat bud looks really deep pink.
I took a picture--but will post it again when it fully opens. This one was started as a cutting Dec, 2011 as well.
