That's is very pretty gessiegail, and they do make a much appreciated gift! Just a week ago I gave one I had made to my aunt as part of her anniversary gift. She loved it. It was one of my first tries at one and I think most everything I put in it will eventually out grow it but it made a pretty gift with some small begonia starts in it along with a mini trailing violet that I hope will spread and fill it like the episcia is doing in your above. The picture below was while I was working on it and I ended up taking the bigger AV out and putting a small variegated trailer right in front. I should have taken another picture!

On a side note I have Aloha Mauna Loa and I assumed it was named after a volcano because it is a big and fast grower!

jannich I too have a silver skies that is blooming, it's about 6 months old and mine has never put out one stolen either.

plantladylin I love your idea of converting the downstairs to just plants : )) My DH thinks I already have but I could fit a lot more and I'm working on it!
