Beautiful plant, three! I'm glad Ki helped you with the ID, cause I didn't have a clue. :o)

Gail, I can send you cuttings of my Codonanthes, too. And Brenda, I'll send you more to help you get a full pot more quickly.

Lin, I thought I sent you cuttings of Codonanthe carnosa, but evidently I didn't. I meant to, if that means anything. LOL I'll send you some soon.

Ki, 'Paula' did indeed come from you, as did C. carnosa and Sinningia pusilla. You sent me seeds of Rio, but the seedlings were lost to thrips. :oP

I think it's fabulous that we all share plants, cuttings, seeds, etc. I really do enjoy trades more than purchases. :o) It's nice to send a picture to someone a few months later and show them how much the plant they sent you has grown. Warm, fuzzy feelings abound! LOL

Gail, I have indeed been hiding both of my Codonanthes. ;o) They're mad at me and not blooming. Guess if I'd give them more water, light, and fertilizer, they'd be happy and bloom again. Here they are. C. carnosa on the left, C. devosiana 'Paula' on the right.
