cedarnest, You don't need any lessons growing streps! Don't forget, lots of those leaf cuttings were from you and they were so nice, fresh and healthy. I so much prefer buying on the DG Marketplace or trading than taking a chance on the online auction site where I like everyone else has received disappointing plant items for high prices both for plants but especially for shipping charges. So far, I have been pleased with ordering from Lyndon Lyons in the past. I am holding off getting anything now from them as I hope to pick up some plants at the MAAVS convention in November where Paul Sorano will be a vendor along with many others. So much more fun seeing and buying plants in person I think. Also, there is a local club fall sale this coming weekend which I just might have to check out. While trays and plastic shoeboxes of leaf cuttings are wonderful, I do feel the need to have some more actual plants to look at. ;-)
Speaking of plants, I do have one I've had for a while, a gesneriad called 'Pearcea Hypocyrtifolia". If you look, you will see it has a flower bud. The blooms are like red balloons. This plant likes high humidity every bit as much as an episcia.
