Given up

There's been no change in months - I have given up on my experiment!  Altho it looks like new leaves in the center, they have existed like that with no further growth.   Time to recycle, and their seedpods too.   The white layer  inside the red wax shell looks very similar to a balloon, inside it smells somewhat musty.   Hope to get a new one for Christmas this year.

Spent all day working on taxes.  Believe me, some changes are going to made to make it easier to reconstruct a past year.
