Wow! What fun!

I think "70 different kinds" is my current total, and that includes 15 noids.... So unless they're all able to donate leaves simultaneously, probably our trade will be a *little* smaller than that, LOL.

Well, when you start thinking about the Violet Gallery, remember that I'll be happy to do a little shopping for you in the spring... I did the same for MsC on our last trip, packing her VG plants in with the ones I had for her, and it worked out fine!

I've put down a bunch of leaves, so I'm hoping to have lots of plantlets for everyone in the spring. I haven't really been keeping track of the numbers.... I know it's 3 1020 trays downstairs, but there are a few suckers & crowns rooting in those trays as well, plus I have a dozen other leaves in the upstairs terrarium that have already produced little plantlets.

Sarah, I'll be in the chat room tonight, and if you want to "meet" there earlier than the appointed hour, just LMK. DH is working late tonight and having dinner at the office. But he's taking the rest of the week off! Yay! And he has to take 2 weeks off at Christmas, because he has maxed out the number of vacation hours he can "bank" for future use. Double yay!!

Hmmm.... what was this thread about originally?? Oh yeah -- girl leaves!!

Here's one more, 'Smitten Kitten'. The leaves on mine seem to have smoother edges than on the photo on the Violet Gallery's web site.... I don't know if mine has reverted, or if growing conditions can also affect leaf shape. Regardless, it's adorable!
