The 5% then mostly died within two days, and I have maybe 6 left that are actually growing. The two small ones in the pic are dead...I left them for comparison.
Well, it was just meant to be..only the strong survive. But what a cutie that one is that did survive. Thank goodness the one you named after me isn't one of the dead ones!
