Hi Gang! Sarah I'm so glad you enjoyed your box and that Stella enjoyed her gift too. I think Royal Viking is just behaving that way from shipping and it's a leaf pot so it should settle down.

Coffee Aroma (Eng. Translation) has HUGE flowers. The photo doesn't show the size relative to the plant, but when it bloomed, it was 'WOW'!
(see photo attached)

Trailing roses is a cutie pie too. Double mini blossoms of a fuchsia red flower. I'll try to find a photo of it.

Emily Savage is sometimes spelled incorrectly. I believe Allison's spelling is the correct way, but I don't have FC.
Kofeiniy Aromat (Boris Makuni)

"Coffee Aroma" Semidouble-double rose-red ruffled star. Light green foliage. Standard.

Essie Hunt, begonia is a sweetie pie. Has a red 'eye' and a bit of a sinus curl, leaves can get to 5 or 6 inches and it is a creeping rhizomatous type. It stays at the top of my 'favorites' list for its tidy habit.

Kenton, hope all is well with you too! I can certainly commiserate with you and Sarah. I was going to UC Davis when my babies were little, ages 2 and 5. I took a full load and sometimes 18 units! (what in the world was I thinking!?) Since I didn't want to move, I made the 3 hour commute each day and worked part time too. It was a bugger of a time, but after a long while, I got that diploma! It was well worth it. My only regrets now are that I didn't take more advanced Botany classes. I really loved that class.
