I like the Fat Boy seedling too - is it once again a volunteer ?
How long do it stay that bright ?

Hi Pia, it is a volunteer from seed from H.Fat Boy. After a few weeks in the sun is the yellow color fantastic and hold this color the rest of the season.

Fine day!

People like Captain Kirk and Enterprise and Vulcan... but only the real Trekkies will get the reference to the third season episode "The Lights of Zetar." Nice plant!

Nice plants, Dirk! I totally missed the Star Trek reference, but after I went and looked it up,
I remember that episode well.
That bright yellow is a real standout. Can you tell us how old the plant is?
