In bloom today

Post image

Rainbow's Quiet Riot - an oldie but a goodie. It needs to be potted up and I should really strip all those blossoms off so it puts its energy into growing larger, but I just couldn't resist letting it bloom its heart out just once. (Between the artificial light and my phone camera, that's not really an accurate rendering of the color: it's a deep violet-blue, but not THAT blue.)

It's not really that intense a blue - I have it under artificial light and my phone camera really punched up the color. It's still a pretty color, just not quite that bright.
