A quick sunflower update.

[whatho]

Runtface has been transplanted into a pot all by himself, to heal. He is in splendid isolation. He is also approximately 1 inch high, is finally looking more or less upright and has developed a strange brown stain all along one side of his stem. Poor Runtface.

Sunflowers 1 (Rudelypinioned), 2 (Ironicdutchess) and 3 (Slemslempike) are all approximately the same height, and that seems to be about 8 inches today. It's hard to tell because they're a bit bendy. Those three are all developing their second sets of leaves. Sunflower 4 (Siggen1) is about 7 inches, as is Sunflower 8 (Jendleberry). Sunflower 5 (Alicamel) is a bit of a weed at maybe 3 and a half inches. Sunflower 6 (Calapine) is perhaps 4 inches. Sunflower 7 (Jessandi) - about 6 inches.

I might try and take photographs but be prepared for a certain degree of abject failure.

*NEWSFLASH*

Calapine (6) has been surreptitiously OVERTAKEN by Alicamel (5) in a matter of merely a few hours. I cannot explain. Also I took some very blurry photographs and don't know how to upload them and will have to spend ages tomorrow poking various buttons and seeing what happens, but this isn't really part of the newsflash.

Did I tell you Paul Simon felt that being 5'3 had a negative impact on his entire life? I'm 5'2 but I only laughed a tiny little bit because it probably is genuinely a bit weird being a tiny 14 year old boy. And I read lots of stuff about Paul staying with a man in Birkenhead.

I do think 1-3 are feeling a bit propped up by their lofty names. In which case, poor old Runtface.

I think his littleness is darling, but that's probably the sort of statement that makes him feel a whole lot worse about it.

Oh! That's a bit painful to know. Being with the other Paul will hopefully be a great comfort to you. I know someone who's going to London that day though. I might ask them to kidnap him.
