Reptile addiction, I already have several that are kind of like Chihuily, but I haven't seen that one in person so I might be interested. Jo_evans, I like that one! Do you know the name? I have one similar, but it's not as bright red (I don't think). How big across would you say the hibiscus is? Do you know if it would be cold hardy? What would each of your wants be? You can email me if you'd like. Thanks! Heather

Have you fed them anything? Jiffy mix has zero nutrients. Give a boost with seedling fertilizer. Not seeing top-growth doesn't mean there's no growth. Right now your seedlings are developing root systems and those are far more important to a seedlings outcome than too much topgrowth wth nothing to support it below the soil. Outdoors you're still experiencing cool nights and the sunlight hours aren't long. You shouldn't be seeing a lot of topgrowth, that would be unatural. Patience is a virtue, don't rush the development of your seedlings.

Man, that's a huge sunflower head! 15-20 lbs??? Yikes - I guess I won't be trying those up here! LOL! I'm with Karen on stuff frying. We've had rain, but it hasn't done much to help with the heat. It's so humid here - a lot of my stuff is developig mildew; my poor asters, which should be blooming soon, look like little palm trees after I removed all the dried up foliage. Oh well, guess I'll enjoy the flowers on dried up stems. I'll just have to keep enjoying your pics! PV
