I cannot stop taking close-ups of the pink blooming CC. It just seems so perfect!
Like porcelain.....

Took 2 more to shoe you. Now it is wilting .....going--going--gone. No other buds on it.
Tell me the best time I can pinch it back? I can remove about 2 nice segment pieces for you.
And--then send those to you.

You know--I still have quite a few of these 2-year old CC's that have not bloomed at all yet.
Is there something I can do to get them to bloom? I do not fertilize a lot--but enough--as it is winter.
Just some AV fertilizer drops...maybe a drop of "Superthrive" in the 1/2 gallon jug of water...
Maybe sometimes a drop or two of "Bio Weed Seaweed" fertilizer I got from "Planet Natural"
about 2 years ago. SO! I bit of this and that.....Most of them look pretty healthy.
I am always leery to feed any plants too much--as it is still winter...maybe they are all "resting" ?

OK,, bed time soon. Kind of messed up with the clock changing....

Here's the latest 2 pictures i took of my "Pink Porcelain Doll".....Hey! Maybe i should cal it that!!!....:o)
The second picture looks like it would break if you touched it--SOOO pristine!
