You know how taxonomy goes Armandii, they are all just synonyms.

Just use Kristenus maximus for unambiguity

 

Photos not showing alexmac - looks like you've linked to images on your PC (so you can probably see them, but sadly only you )

You can edit the message, if you link, and use the "Upload a file" option to insert the images.

Looking good. Nice strong plants, and not "leggy"

 

I should really hate Loli, but I don't!!!!!

You're doing a cracking job Loli putting most of us to shame, well done that girl!

 

( I'll beat her with my "Big Boys" ?)

 

Day 7 of my saved seed sowing and 19 of 25 seeds have germinated.

These were seeds that were fermented for just 24 hours and then cleaned in a wire sieve before drying.

No John, this is the antidote to the often promoted notion that having collected seed you have to ferment them in a little water until a fungus grows on the surface or you have to vacate the parish - whatever is easiest - to obtain viable seed.

Big boy & his two Supersteak minders have been ejected from the warm growbox to the kitchen windowsill, which will hopefully slow them down a bit & give the weather time to catch up... when it stops snowing...

Those plants have the potential to be real thugs based on the speed they are going at the moment ; should be interesting !
