| In August 2003 they had grown from 4-5" to 11+". In February 2004 the male with the heavy sumi was over 16" and the female just under 16". The sumi which had erupted all over the male in early summer 2003 was beginning to break up. Still not sure what that sumi is going to do. The female has stayed pretty much the same, just growing & filling out. Mat informed me that there is showa blood mixed in the parents, so these siblings are showing different traits from same parents. Curious how alike they are and at the same time the sumi acts so differently. |
