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.

I'm rooting for Runtface too. He had a very strange start in life when he decided to emerge from the soil stem first and kept his face firmly planted. He's a bit eccentric. Yesterday his head popped up and he stopped looking like a little green croquet hoop and more like a proper seedling. It'll be a rough night because he's just been transplanted, but he's looking plucky than ever.
