Ooooh! Can't wait, Jesse! Thank you so much!

I ordered 3 plants from Rob's on Monday and got them yesterday! They are: Chirita 'Silver Surfer' (substituted for 'Betty', which I guess they were out of.), Chirita 'Stardust', and Streptocarpus 'Canterbury Surprise'. Oh, and one free plant, Chirita 'Vietnam'.

They are "itty" "bitty", little plants, and I can't wait for them to grow up to their adult size. I had never heard of Chirita's before a few days ago while reading a thread on here, and couldn't wait to try them! Someone says they are as easy as AV's which I don't have trouble with, so I thought I'd give them a try! The Cherita's are in little probably 2" pots, but the Streptocarpus is just two little leaves in a little dixie type cup! Sure hope I can manage to keep them all surviving! I'm going to try my darndest!

I just love all you DG'er's out there and all the wonderful information I'm getting from everyone! And, the trades are fun too!
