Mystery Day... I like it, it's more purple than this pic shows.

I am so glad to see the live plant. I planted Mystery Day in June from tuber that was on sale, and only saw a picture online when I ordered. It is about 2 feet high now but no blooms yet. I can hardly wait now that I see how it really looks. Beautiful, Thanks for sharing.

How exciting! I've been growing Mystery Day indoors since June 25th. Yours look just like the picture that came with the tuber! Mine are also about 2 feet high but very puny.

I don't want to plant it outside yet because it's so darn hot here! I put it outside for a couple of hours every day to try and get it used to it. I planned on planting it when it gets a little cooler.

Here's a picture of mine:

It looks pretty sickly doesn't it?

Thanks for sharing yours!
