I enjoy your yakkin' Brenda! ;o)

I'm just lovin' the Streps! They keep blooming no matter what I do to them. LOL I could really see myself collecting a *lot* of them. I think overwatering them is about the worst thing you could do to them. Otherwise, they seem to be so forgiving.

Have you seen Franken Dainty Lady? Scrumptious!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250129052... It's not fantasy, but has netting (I think that's what they call it) on the flowers. It's a bunch of speckles, anyway. I like it because it's different. :o)

I'd love to trade with you! I'm still perfecting growing them from leaf, too, so maybe a bit later, toward fall, but before it gets too cold for you, and once we both have some idea of what we're doing. How's that sound? I love trading! :o)

Don't ever throw anything away til you're completely sure, beyond a doubt that it's dead and has no hope. Remember me saying I had killed my Episcia 'KeeWee'? Well, I didn't... You're gonna laugh, but I didn't throw the pot away, and just kept watering it like there was something there, and look what I found this morning! LOL

Here is Episcia 'KeeWee' (Yes, that's a real dime!!)
