Hi Starfly,
I am so excited for you and your new plants especially sinningia 'Peridots Darth Vader'. You have no idea how much I love the blossom on that one! Lucky you!! I will post a pic so you can see it from the 2005 AGGS convention where it won runner up to Best in Show.

When I first saw Darth Vader, I knew then and there I had to have it. I finally did find someone to obtain a leaf from and I have grown in on now to a 4" pot and thrill of thrills, it is in bud! I can barely stand it till it opens. When it does, I will post some photos. I really like the nearly black green red backed foliage also.

Starfly, I grow just the same as my violets and other gessies on my light stand.

So very nice of your sister to give you your new plants.
