Donna...............the best way to tell you what it means to cut the crown out for suckering........go to Rob's Violet Barn.............he has a section called Cultural tips or something like that................then look under chimeras....................and he will tell you how.............or better yet..........look under our very own stickys begoniacrazii made for us at the top of the AV forum.............and you will see a page on how to do this............we want both chimeras and trailers to sucker............

I have the funniest picture to show you all............I am separating babies also from their mama leaves........but here is one with a bud going to bloom.........since I didn't write her name on the solo cup......think i will let her bloom first and I will know her name!!!!!!!!!!!!
*****can you see that little white bud?????????

Brenda said something about leaves spooning when they are under stress.............Snow and I think my bottom two shelves on each stand perhaps get too cold.........for growing leaves..........they should be at the top instead of the bottom...........but not starting over anytime soon...............
**********thank you, Lin..........maybe Kazu afterall................we will know more when she blooms
