Lin, I will post when they hit the bloom peak.....I am thinking that the easiest thing to do (time wise for me) would be just to take lovely bouquets in walmart vases to all the people in the nursing home nearby. Many of them don't even have family members to eat with them or visit with them....There are very many sick people in churches everywhere, but just our church alone has at least 20 terminally ill people and I would never be able to find all their 'locations'.
I have been cleaning and watering all my little baby AV's. Most are now over 10" across and need to be stepped up into 4".....am waiting on an answer from a friend as to what to do. I am posting your first AV you sent a couple of weeks ago and just look at the new leaves!!!! They are happy where they are under gro-lights. When she blooms you will get a new posting.......also, if the new leaves make it, we will celebrate together. I just took some leaves that were broken off in shipping and started new plants!!!!
