Jackie,

Suzanna was hybridized by Burley in Australia 1992.

I'm sure I posted this picture before but here is a well grown 'Mini-Perba' at the Miami convention. I think this may be the same one that was entered the year before as well. I'm not sure what the hurricane lamp is for (is that the trophy?).

After seeing it in person (plus the ones floating around on the web) I knew I had to get one. I lost the first one, but perseverance pays off. Now I have several but it will be quite a while (if ever) to get close to this one.

You are right on giving away seedlings/plants but at some point your friends, neighbors, and family start saying "No more". I tried beautifying our last neighborhood by giving away anything I had excess of and then the things I gave my parents were spread about their neighborhood. What I hate is when you give something and then the recipient just lets it die through neglect. UGH! I just bite my tongue.
