Absolutely BEAUTIFUL everyone!
Gail, that Merry Christmas just gets prettier every day
Here is a new one for me, Alsobia San Miguel.
Brenda sent me stolons of 2 different Alsobia when I first found this group back in October. Being new to this whole genus, I struggled along and made LOTS of mistakes *lol* I look back now and think, OMG what was I doing? *lol*
Well, Miguel rooted but then started to show signs that he wasn't happy. I moved him here, I moved him there....still not happy. October, November, December (well, pretty much most of the year *lol*) can be VERY dry in Maine without any humidity to really speak of.
I was down to just 2 crowns and only a couple of leaves.
I found that $9.99 tabletop greenhouse and right away knew of a good candidate for it *lol*
Slowly but surely Miguel has started to make a comeback. He is actually rewarding me with a couple of arms in which I will try to root the stolons this winter
It has really been a GREAT learning lesson and Brenda I can't thank you enough my friend
I think he is just BEAUTIFUL!

Presenting.......Miguel
