Heli of a Surprise!
While it got a bit stressful at first, watching how others were having good results with their Av-Heli-Hybrid seed from you Butch, I worried I might have made a mistake in sharing the winnings with others, as all I saw was endless days of inactivity & lack of life!
Even more-so, as during our excursion eastward to the ICPS gathering (words & pics to come soon)
I had suffered a loss of my only other, generously shared Heli. Apparently it missed me more than expected & the "sitter" we had couldn't realize the impact of my absence upon it!
Therefore the inactivity of the Heli seed was even more noticed, as I watched more & more growers boast of their new found success.
But recently, with much surprise, I happened to check upon my germination-free zone, and found this sight before me:
[Yes, first few pics are of the two seedlings in their first moments of visible growth, while the last one is of the fatality I mentioned above.] In time I assume it will be replaced by it's 2 new relatives, with even more chance of survival, as its predecessor gave me a more determined motivation, dedication & education, needed to learn to care for them even better than before!
Many thanks again Butch!
Well, off to tend to their needs, along with a few other worthwhile CP endeavors I have been deligently working over. (It is times like this that help me realize why I do!) Oh what a hobby!
