very pretty. I wish I had some white ones too.
S
I have only one White one. The rest are yellow or the deep purple color. Question for you @cornne. Once they start to brow, do I just snip at the base of the flower?
U
Yes, and you can even snip them mid stem if they get too tall and it won;t deter them one bit from blooming again. Don;t ya just love snapdragons?!
S
I do, these are lovely and I just may have to keep growing these LOL. These have been the best producers for me in this unit on my desk.
S
These could go on and on but I terminated them to plant my Red & Whites.. Faux Poinsettias

S
I have my lights fully extended. These are beautiful and no matter what angle you look (I can turn the machine completely around) and you see flowers are different heights. Very nice. These are a keeper, Thank you @cornne .

I was hoping you'd get some of those vibrant 'awakening' yellows..I am hoping for some myself! Watch out for the Reaper!
S
Reaper left this morning. All is well with the plants. I think the reaper knew I meant business. OH, remember when the reaper took my Sprout. Then reaper told me it went in the garbage. Well reaper gave it back ... wait for it... wait for it ... with pieces missing (water cover, inside bubbler and the tool to take it out), and the deck. Plus it had spray paint splatter all over. So since so much is missing I guess I will just put it in the garbage for real now
U
Something is definitely wrong!
S
@cornne, I am really happy with how these are growing, The front plants are shorter and the back are tall. Once they are in bloom it will look so full and nice. The second Snaptini is yellow too. These are suck a vibrant and gorgeous yellow too. Looking forward to seeing more colors in mine and your project

Your Snaps are looking real good, SHawn. I also have tall and shorter ones since I had to toss in a few seeds later on. But now all are growing. It will be interesting to see the colors. I love the yellow which is vibrant and bright!
