It does...it looks great....i still cant post pics (gotta get my husband to look at the computer) but mine are coming along nicely...not as big as your's but look healthy.

Oh YEahhhh!!! Comfrey!!!!!

Yes I can't wait to see pictures of Penny's!!!!

I love seeing everyone else's pictures, Keep posting everyone.

wow great pic comfrey! i do that! take about 5-10 pics till ya get the right one

Yep Me tooo!!!! Wierd how some turn out blurry and you don't move while your still taking the other 15 shots!! and out of the many shots of the same thing only 1 or 2 turn out decent

I am going to re-install the software for the pictures and see if that helps.....will try this weekend.

yep!

2 of mine have bit the dust! they just ploped over and died the others are doing good,

So far....all of mine are doing well and there are a few that i dont know what they are anymore ....so I'm hoping you guys can tell me!

WEll Heck I guess I will too!!!

***
Glad to hear your seeds are coming up good Penny,
Sybil I had lost a few too.. I hope the weather warms up for Ya soon Cuz They like it outside!!

I wish my son was here with his camera!! Mine are getting so BIG, but no flower buds yet.
(I am finally getting flower buds on my Impateins again!!) But even though there are no buds yet...I love my Wonder Eggs!!!!

Confrey the bloom is very nice...Will it bloom much more?

Every day I see more buds forming, so to answer your question, it is like any other plant...It blooms and the flowers seem to last only a few days maybe a week at the most, but the flower is not the purpose of these...it is the fruit..the egg, which will contain the seeds when ripe. A plant with real looking eggs on it...and of course since the seeds are so hard to obtain and they are very expensive in my opinion..so if you get one to produce eggs and ripen you have seeds that you can trade with in the end and grow another one or two next year. I think this should be a yearly event for us to all grow these, this is alot of fun following each others progress!

Comfrey, I can't wait until mine get that big!

I have sprouts but the only trouble is I can't tell if it's the basil or the wonder eggs. I can't remember which pot is which.

WEllll at least you have sprouts !!! the second set of leaves "true leaves" will tell ya!! and you can always go back to the beginning of this thread and see our sprouts!

The bottom leaves of mine keep falling off...

Mine did too when the upper leaves widen out are they turning yellow before they fall off>>?

Could be they need repotting the roots get long really fast how many leaves do you have now and what size pot are they in??

They were just falling limp then dropping off..

They probably[ definately ] do need replanting.. I have 4 of them in a pot 6 inches long by 6 inches deep..

I have another pot the same size, I'll put two in each...

I think because you have soo many in a pot(4) that the roots are now too long and tangled Comfrey may have a better suggestion than I , can you see the roots at the bottom of the pot??

Repotting may help...I waited too long and lost my first and biggest plant, because my pot became root bound. If it was me...I would only put one plant per pot and transplant all of them.

I have bloom #3 today

Thanks for the info

I did not see roots at the bottom, that is why I didn't repot..

But now I have a reason to

Bloom three today confrey congrats!!

You ma remember my wonder eggs as smaller, and in the same pot, but I took everyone's advice and did my best in repotting them:

my smallest [i fixed the tilt]


my second smallest:


The 2 big ones together:


And a group shot:

Cool Mark. My biggest one has 10 leaves, counting the tiny baby one coming out.

Thanks shirl, and congrats to you!
