Developing Naranja - Thumb of 2015-12-30/jmorth/5208fc
Naranja - 2 stems, 1 has 4 blooms, the other 4 blooms and 1 bud not yet open. It is a giant! Thumb of 2015-12-30/jmorth/5c1b36'
Now, it's top heavy and listing rather severely Thumb of 2015-12-30/jmorth/2a7d7c A stake with copper wire helped the stems stay straight initially but hasn't been overly helpful since the blooms have opened .
To attempt to maintain stabilization (or at least from 'falling over) I added a bunch of heavy geodes
Thumb of 2015-12-30/jmorth/11ef96 to at least keep the pot from toppling..Thumb of 2015-12-30/jmorth/5c1b36.My fear is when the 5th top bloom opens the center of gravity may tip the scales negatively and precipitate a tragedy of no small proportion.
Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.
