AWWWW thank you so much but I can't take ANY of the credit. Everything I learned I learned from the ladies here.

There have been many failures along the way and days where I just wanted to give up as it semed like everything was rotting. There has been much un-potting.....re-potting etc. It has truly been a learning experience and still is.

I am SO excited about something though. I got an X-Codonanthus Vista for my birthday. I took 4 leaves and stuck them in some dirt. One of them HAS ROOTS! I can't even believe it. I didn't know that could be done. I also tried pollinating it so I'm waiting to see if I get any berries. I also tried pollinating the Lipstick Rasta so maybe I will get seeds from that too :)

My goal is to have 2 or 3 streps blooming at the same time and doing some cross pollinating :)

As long as there are more successes than failures it makes it all worth while :)

Still know there will be failures but am sure enjoying the successes too :)
