HI everyone, I got my order in from Rob's violets. I guess this is why they will not guarantee plants unless they are overnighted.

The streps look very good, the chimera is on it's last leg. I removed the totally dead leaves, these are the leaves that are barely alive. I hope I can save it.

I got:

Aunt Eater (strep - the blooming one -- gorgeous)
Bristol's Hey Mei strep
Bristol's surprise party strep

Rob's Hand puppet chimera

I can't blame Rob's violets for the dying chimera, it was my fault for ordering this time of year. The temps were moderate and I thought it wouldn't be a problem (they insulate very well when they pack the box). But I've noticed that all the av's I got from Bluebird greenhouse do much better for me than Rob's av's. Does anyone else notice this?

Anyone have a chimera baby they can share?

HOpe you like the pics.

p.s. Allison, where are you??
