Update on episcia seedlings from seed

Ashdown, AR(Zone 8a)

Some of my seedlings are a little bigger than quarters now so I'm seeing some patterns...maybe a dz-dz & half are this size. Only one stands out from these.It has a wide band of chocolate brown on the outer part of the leaf w/ the inner part very silvery metalic w/a few pebbley silver spots(not texture..dots of silver)extending into the chocolate brown band...of course this could all change w/ age. The other quarter size ones look pretty much the same w/ wide bands of green on outer edge and silver in the center.Another one has wide dark green band w/ silver center that looks like a leaf pattern.Some of the smaller ones are showing redish brown on some of the leaves...some w/ silver center stripes some not. Of course I've gorked quite a few of the tinier ones that were too small to be re-potted but they came out of the community pots w/ the larger seedlings so I re-planted the in the plug tray just in they had a chance to make it.

Excited to see if anything will be a keeper worthy of a name...not that I'd know what constitutes worthy attributes.

Hey! Ya never know. I'm hoping to. Just had my yearly check up and told the dr. I was planning on living another 30 years. 65 and counting.

hoping to hang in there for a few more years myself....95 sounds like a good number.
