I should mention the light looks weird because of the greenhouse lights that were on (I was there at night), and I could not figure out how to get my camera's flash to fire while in the light.
I also had to add more material to the compost bin, several plants had died at some point over the past couple of weeks. I really don't know what the problem could be. Most plants look pretty good, and some that look good, don't by the next week. One of the casualties was the open-pollinated oreophila x willisii that just flowered (at 3 years old) that I mentioned in a previous post. What a bummer. I did learn that the misting system in the greenhouse uses tap water. All this time I thought it was RO water, but my wife said the powers-that-be decided not to allocate funds to an RO system, during the planning phases of the greenhouse. Perhaps that is the reason for the casualties. Next year, I will put the plants in the "cool room" of the greenhouse, which uses the misters a lot less often.
To end, here a few pics of some of this years seedlings, most about 3 months old now.
This one is actually 1 year old, S. minor x 'Love Bug'
S. ('Ladies in Waiting' x 'Judith Hindle') x 'Leah Wilkerson'
S. leucophylla x 'Adrian Slack'
S. oreophila x 'Toadmaster'. I posted a pic of these in a previous post, right when they first germinated.
