RR XXL Auto vegged for 30 days and is on flower day 19 today, making her 38 days old when this was shot. For artistic effect I used a Lensbaby Scout with the star shaped insert. The photo was shot in RAW with simple post adjustments and saved as jpeg. The bokeh effects are from the lens.

Cloth wicks made from highly absorbent dishwashing cloth. I got lucky and found that the length and width of the wicks was fine for the little starter pots.
