Our project is Grow to enjoy or show. Robs Violet Barn surprised us by sending us Rob's Pink Buttercups. Included below are some links about this variety.
Carol instructed us to do the following:
Preparing for Show - Show Schedule for 2007-2008
- 1. Set plant up for wick-watering by inserting a wick (like Bobbi showed). There are some of us who prefer to repot the plant now. I am one of those. I find the soil is very heavy and prefer to use the club mix.
- 2. Cover the plant with a plastic bag for 2 weeks, then remove bag. Plant should acclimate to conditions in your house.
- 3. Bring plant in October for next month's instructions.
To keep our journal of our plant project here are some photos of our starter plants.
Here is how Pink Buttercups arrived to us
