Hot Purple Prince (2 days)

Check out that lilac colour!

Tequila Sunrise (3 days)

Been in Edinburgh for a few days, the seeds were removed from the window and placed on the sofa, out of direct sun (fear of wilting).

On our return I find about 10+ new shoots and some real leafage.



This is the Tequila Sunrise, about 3 days old.

Balloon rising (day 2)

I plan to try and take and post a picture every day if I can.

This is the balloon again, 2 days old. The stem is looking very white - no green at all.

Balloon rising...

This is the seed-head of the balloon chilli, which has started to grow.

My first sprout picture

The Rocoto Canarios seedling. It hasn't quite poked its head out, but you can see the bend of it's neck. There's also sign of life in some others. I'm expecting leafage tomorrow...

First sprout for Ralph

Oh yes, it might be tiny, teeny and hardly visible, but the Rocoto Canarios has sprouted.

Just as well, as the Colonel texted me at 8:55am today to tell me that he had 3 more...

Picture to follow later, as the wife has the camera with her.

An interesting fact from Wikipedia about Rocotos (see title link):

The plant has purple blossoms and the seeds are dark brown or black. The plants grow up to 6 ft high if supported.

Sprouts?

*sigh*

The Colonel tells me that he's got a sprout, the Balloon. He even sent me an MMS of it.

To me, it looks like a weed that was in his compost... that's what I think...
