Here's a Princeps germinated last winter...9 months old.

And another Princeps seedling, partially divided:

Waggie seedlings aren't showing divided leaves yet, and they're a season older.

Could this mean that Princeps matures faster?

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Princeps are quick to divide,4 or 5th leaf sometimes.

A princeps should've followed you home.

Hope Bill's greenhouse survived Sandy's winds.

It didn't get as bad there as they thought at first-storm mostly went south.

Hi Barb,

Bill's greenhouse did fine in the winds. His bananas got trashed.

They usually put on their color around the time they divide-in direct sunlight.

I'll look forward to seeing that color appear.

But first it's going into the cold building for 5 months...poor thing.
