Ohhhh I JUST emailed Chris the other day about this. I have a few of mine that were doing it too and I feared a virus or something. Chris advised that it might be a nutrient deficiency. In my case, when I repotted them in early April I hit them with a strong dose of seaweed, which encouraged new growth. It is completely fine and nothing to worry about. Give it time to âÂÂgreenâ up. It just got ahead of itself and needs to catch up :) Ludi Mikado Mikawa no Yuki This post was edited by Ludisia on Sat, May 11, 13 at 17:12

mountainy man, just make sure there is plenty of room. Like I said, this is a 5 year old plant, but when I got it in the mail, it was in a 4" pot. I never expected it to get this big. But I did us a lot of compost on in and also a handful of 10-10-10 fertilizer in the spring. I also water the heck out of it! Enjoy this plant. It has given me much pleasure here in my Zone 6 garden in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. How I wish I could see the beautiful gardens of Ireland!

Aqua, I sent you an email a week ago (see above). I still have not heard from you and no seeds have arrived. I sent you another email and GW mail this morning. TO recap this situation.... *Aquadragonfly was to send me seeds (sprouts) in this swap *Aqua did send seeds to me but stated that she sent the wrong seeds. *I received the wrong seeds (Aqua refers to them as the "WOW" seeds) *I offered (via email) to return to her the "WOW" seeds and that she could send me the correct seeds that were intended for me. *I sent the "WOW" seeds back to her on September 7 *I emailed her on September 14 to see if she had received the "WOW" seeds. *She responded to my email on September 14 that she thought she had posted on this thread that she had received the seeds. She also stated that she had not been feeling well and it would be a few more days until she mailed out my seeds. *On October 20, I emailed her and posted here that I had not received any seeds. I have received no response via email or on this thread and have received no seeds. *Today, October 27, I emailed her and sent her a message via GW.............. I certainly do not need any seeds but as we all know, that is not the point! She has not kept her end of the deal...not cool! Annie

Dave, your first Love is looking really pretty, a very early riser to be that advanced already, forewarned is forearmed. I hope you get your order soon, I emailed them when it went over the month since ordering, they replied saying they were very busy getting orders out but the posted the following monday. I wanted them as early as possible so that they would be still tight eyes to minimise damage, the packaging was a bit better than last year thankfully. I have back pain too and i mix on my knees in front of the wheelbarrow, the bending kills me. What is the name of the fertiliser you are going to use? 500 pots Dave, lol, I shouldn't laugh i know how it is.
