Went in from the old way, via the batcave, today.
The bats are back!
Pics below, but first ...
Our volunteer mystery girl is definitely flowering, no doubt about it.
Got in to water and visit in general.
She was quite thirsty.
I also need to add more media to these white containers.
The shape of the colas says it all.
So if she's doing this on literally the solstice,
then she's not going to turn back at this point.
Could have a harvest in 12-16 weeks, possible?!?!
That would be September to October, wow.
Early days yet, shouldn't get too excited, haha.
You can also see the leaves are all three leaflet,
and still getting thinner and thinner.
Up top.
Her pink petioles are showing through strongly.
And into the main stems too.
Wonder how much strength she'll show?
At about 80-90 cm tall now, she will still stretch for a month or two.
Her color and shape really remind me of the Grail NLD pheno from Season 1.
Same delicate structure to her, too.
Though the father was from the Grail Faster pheno, not the NLD. I think.
And back to the bats!
They are a bit more spread out than last season.
Must have been here a while, can tell from the fresh guano.
I haven't used this entrance for a few months already, I think.
