Park Seed still carries them and they also carry The Whopper. I just ordered two of the Whopper with the vents...............The whoppers are great for lopping the tops off of episcias, etc.

I need some suggestions from you all. I am going to take the mid vein out (I have done this before and I get so many babies, I have to be careful what I get 30 babies from)

I have already done it to Franken Copper Knob and Raspberry Splash

The following plants have nice big sturdy leaves on them right now. Please tell me what your favorite 5 or 6 out of these are. (you are helping me a lot since I don't always know what people like........as I like them all) I never saw a strep I didn't like. Midas was my first and I have a leaf of her down now.

Here is the list of what to choose from as I don't have space for more than 10 of these to take the mid vein out...........
1. Spooky
2. Cantebury Surprise
3. Bristol's Moon Moth
4. Russian Pink
5. Space Dust
6. Hot Ticket
7. Happy Snappy
8. Guideline
9. Cape Essence
10. Aly's Autumn Joy
11. Sunsweet (LL)
12. Sensation
13. Bristol's Paw Print
14. Cape Baby
15. Wild Irish Rose
16. Georgette
17. Franken Jane Elisabeth
18. Iced Wine
19 Shenandoah Shiloh (very netted)

Thank you so much...............I may go to the other threads on the AV forum and ask them for help, too. I like to root them in these plastic orchid corsage boxes because they don't seal well and that allows air to circulate.
