I have never been able to even grow African Violets much less raise them from leaves until this year, when several friends on DG urged me to give it another try. When I went shopping for some nice AV plants to use as stock plants I found the streprocarpus (Cape Primrose) and just loved the look of them also. The bottom line is, I bought some of each. They of course are too small just now to begin to take cuttings, but I am watching these little darlings grow and they are so adorable I can not help but share them with you all. Forgive me for assuming anyone else would care, but I am really just so excited that they are growing I have to show someone. Since I am old, and live alone, and DG is my extended family, here goes:

First I have Rob's Sticky Wicket blooming.
Second is Ma's Ching Dynasty
Spin Art and Wow are two of the Streptocarpus that are blooming. These plants were just tiny a few weeks ago. I am so impressed with them I could burst. LOL Thank you for allowing me to sound like a new mother. JB
