So I'm in Agronomy for my junior(?) Year of college and I have been growing a bunch of plants. This is one that I am already super proud of! It's a Black Charm Lilium!











I have 5 of them (labeled A B C D and E) and this is A. The others should be turning and blooming soon but D is a bit far behind as you can see in the first image. But I'm really happy with them

The only issue is that I guess I didn't fertilise good enough or early enough because they're all have purple stems which should be a sign of phosphate deficiency? So I'm gonna have to make up a batch again and fert my plants

Edit:
I have more pictures!

I don't know a thing about plants but wow, that's a cool collection and that flower is really nice! Do you have a pic without the pinkish tint?

I sadly don't. The greenhouse has purple lighting which messes with my phone camera. But I can try to find or get a better picture when I go in later today!

But I would ay the one with the "blue" tint looks more like it. Just less green

Ohh I see, does the lighting benefit the plants in some way?

It's stunning either way, I can see why you're proud of them!

Yup! The lights are there to help them grow. It's a purple UV glowing light I think? Perfect for plants that need full sun like the liliums. And I did find some better pictures! Though they're from last week

Fancy light levels, got it! Gosh, those close-up really show them nicely! They're gorgeous, I think it's my new favourite! You're looking after them so well, they look amazing!!

(This is making me smile like crazy, what the heck!?)

I have no clue, but I think you should keep at least one of the purple ones, + the one that’s behind and maybe start a couple new ones again, that way you can see what the issue is, and learn from it, get more details on it, and therefore get more information going

I have other plants as well lol. But they're not as photogenic as this bug guy XD

But I'm growing...
Alfalfa
Asparagus Bean
Bachelor Buttons
Basil
Broccoli
Brussles Sprouts
Cantaloupe
Carrot
Cat Grass
Clover
Hosta
Italian Parsley
Kniphofia
Lavender
Lemon Balm
Lily

Rosemary
Squash
Tomato
Watermelon

I have so many plants 😅 I legit have 8 Watermelon, 8 squash, and 4 Cantaloupe. They all have to be in new pots soon and I only got 3 cants and 5 waters done. They're also spikes too so I got a Watermelon splinter in my finger when transplanting XD

@414898 I'm defintely going to keep two of them. My mother wants two and the others will be sold. But I'll check in with my teacher to see if I need to fertilise them again. But thankfully she's understanding since Agronomy was my first plant class. Took me a whole semester (8 weeks) to get confident with my plants now that I know what I'm somewhat doing haha

It's a lot of hard work. But my partner (Agronomy partner, not romo) says I'm doing better than others who have taken the class before. Maybe it's my paranoia that any little mistake will kill them, and my anxiety that at the beginning of the semester about not doing enough (causing me to start another batch of plants, then another) pushed me into the too-late-to-turn-back point

Maybe they also enjoy the fact that I'm there for hours on end talking to myself (and them) and singing along to music while I take measurements and notes. Even my teacher is impressed that my rosemary is growing since its super hard to grow. Of course, I had to throw out Peppermint and Lettuce because for some reason, they didn't germinate for anyone (and for Lettuce, it literally made the newspaper one year when it actually grew in the greenhouses)

But I'm proud of myself. I feel like that one gay hufflepuff who's always in the greenhouse who ends up scaring some people because they don't know he's there XD. Like look at my beauties. Look at my children XD

Wooo that takes some dedication I bet! And heck yea! You should be proud of yourself, all that care and time you gotta put into them is impressive!

Stubborn lettuce though

Yuuuuup haha. But I'm glad the Lettuce didn't germinate. I have no idea how that would've gone with how many plants I have XD

Thank you! I hope to add pictures of all my plants soon. I had to move the Watermelon and Cantaloupe to the floor to make room for my growing army XD
