The seeds of Malope Trifida have taken nearly four weeks to get to this size. I wasn’t sure what to look out for so have posted this just in case any of you good folks need to id them.
For some reason I’m really looking forward to these more than most of the others. We haven’t grown them before…so fingers crossed.
This is the grown up version…not ours obviously…

Will a photo do?

yup. Gentlemans/womans honesty in regard to the wager can apply. Flower must be fully out and it must be ‘Vulcan’. :)

Hi Ben
I am also growing these for the first time. My seedlings were sown at the same time as yours and look the same size.
