Lin I will remember that my episcias would have a safe haven with you! I think I might chop a couple of them up and put them in vases the way Gail showed on the other thread and see if they will grow with a prettier form

Diane I'd be happy to clip a stolon or two from Silver Skies if you want to root them up! Might have to wait about a month for my weather to be decent enough to ship though!

Gail did you post a list somewhere of the names of the leaves you bought. Just curious, I doubt I'd write out a list of 75 names! I'll wait for the pictures when they start to bloom and you tell their names.

I guess I can actually grow episcia and kohleria as they are living in my house! :0) But they sure don't look like the pictures I see, they just grow long a stingy looking.

Here are the 9 kohlerias I have kept alive, but without any form or beauty to the plant! The blooms are pretty though. Sorry about the bright sun from behind...
