Rainbows everywhere

After confirming that the 5th sprout which I gave away was Bolivian Rainbow too I sent an email to the grower asking if he knew any similar cases. He didn't and his personal batch of Bird's Eyes had turned out to be alright so I just got extremely unlucky. On Saturday the mail brought me some seeds that I chose as compensation and he had put 2 extra bags with them so it looks like I already have plants for my next season.

Purple flowers again?

The Bolivian Rainbow on the balcony seems to be doing well and I like how dark the leaves have turned due to the plant getting more sunlight. My current unresolved issue is that the 4th plant has started to turn it's flower buds purple. Something is off here since I have only planted 3 Bolivian Rainbows in the first place. So even if I had made a mistake with the name tags and gave away the wrong one only 3 plants with purple flowers should be possible. The two Prairie Fire sprouts moved in an under watering pot together and are shown on the first picture.

Making space

This is the last "group photo" of my chillies as the biggest Bolivian Rainbow and the Bird's Eye Baby moved to the balcony today. I suppose my window still wasn't that crowded judging from photos I've seen on other grow blogs but now there is plenty of space and the plants don't have to compete for light so I'm happy with the arrangement. Had some issues with overwatering again. I just don't seem to get the amount of water to give to the rock wool cubes right. As a result the Chichen Itza has been dropping leaves and I'm still a bit worried about it even though the plant does look better now than it did a couple of days ago.

Purple flowers

The first flower of my Bolivian Rainbows opened on 29th of April and was soon joined with others. I must say I quite like the appearance of the purple flowers and they stand out more than the plain white ones. The flowers on the third plant turned out to be purple too so I guess I now have 3 Bolivian Rainbows and one Bird's Eye Baby on my window still given that I donated the one sprout away.

Out of the sprouts I've grown on my own my Bolivian Rainbows are currently 47, 50 and 57cm, the Bird's Eye is 40cm and the late Prairie Fire sprouts are 10cm high.
