Re: Peas in a pod
Hmm... so they are the same age, Ian? Little sweeties. 
Wonder if the lack of white bits are related to the slow growth, or whether slow ones just make less white bits.

Re: Peas in a pod
How old are they Ian?
I have quite a few Julie all the same age and there seems to be no relationship between growth rate and white bits. By coincidence I had a little delivery of Astrophytum seeds today, 19 pks 500 seeds guess what I am doing this weekend.

Not really David, would be nice if I could, less than ?40 worth of seeds, if I get 2 or 3 plants of each type worth keeping I'll be happy.
Thanks Ian

Re: Peas in a pod
The flecking generally increases with age. Another seedling from the same batch, larger then these, is now very heavily flecked, even more so than a normal plant. This seed source is supposedly very variable. It would be nice if that one seedling does go completely nude, quite an interesting contrast.
