3 week check up on his Highness

Shhhhhhhhhh, his Highness is sleeping



Category: Royal Poinciana | Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2006 2:26 am

Last night I thought Prince Poin was getting a little dry around the feet and that is why he had closed up his leaves and curled up. It was a little limp to the touch. So I placed him back in his container. And this morning he was doing fine.

Well, it would seem, he was sleeping as he is doing now. He closes his leaves, curls them under and goes to nite-nite.

Here he is just now. He looked just this way last night....just larger! LOL This would explain how he can grow so fast!!! Cuz he sleeps at night!



All curled under..


even the new leaf was tired....

No glendann, this one doesnt close when you touch it. I have my fingers on it all the time. It only seems to close up when its night.

And Eileen, its on my Birds of Paradise that I grew from a seed. They arent growing very well. I wouldnt be at all surprised if I lost all three.
