Excellent! I've added those two to your list. I was just admiring Ness' Firefly.... I think it was on the Pat's Pets website... I'm glad you have a leaf down! I have a couple of less-than-stellar looking leaves down of 'Yesterday's Child' (they broke off in transit, so of course they were potted up), but I have hopes of eventual plantlets from that one, maybe not until spring though!

VG lists/labels the plant as 'Deer Path', but seeing the blooms I'm pretty sure it's actually 'Deer Trail'. ('Deer Path' is actually on the current AVSA "most wanted" list, so I'd be surprised to see it in plain sight on a vendor list.)

I took a photo last night, but it doesn't really do the shell-pink of the blooms justice (deeper on the back side of the petals, barely blushing the inside). The flowers have a delicate charm that reminds me of 'Opt. Little Crystal', and the leaves have a rich dark color that just sets off the blooms.
