Thanks Emma! You're right, I will delete it.
Hi Meik, You may have inadvertently uploaded the same spotting which you previously uploaded on Sept 22. If it of the same plant, at the same location ,at the same time, then i would suggest that you delete the Sept 22nd spotting. This due to Project Noah's rule about "one spotting only once". Thnx for understanding and great to see you again!
great colors!
