Pirate's Playground: 5月 2017

The current season is just right for Sinningia to grow and bloom. They are always the highlight before entering Summer. Last weekend I just noted that I totally forgot a tray of Sinningia that I put them high for a short dormancy. They just sprout meanwhile their classmates are in bloom. XD
