yes Gail--I thought I might do a few outside and just keep the rest going under lights this winter

I think this one might be one of the ones that sometimes act funny if they are allowed to go dormant...let me look at my notes on it

my Achimenes are starting to bloom outside, they accidentally got their leaves blasted by the run off when a friend decided he'd power wash my house for me--I have a small collection of these, another of my "closet" obsessions--lol

I think they are like african violets and don't like their leaves wet--oh well, they will recover.

so far only purples blooming but everyday one more bloom...can't beat that, day 2 and today 2 blooms--maybe a combo of a little dolly rain and powerwash runoff effect added to blazing heat and sauna-like humidity?
