So much to catch up on here. Thanks Brenda for starting this thread. Gorgeous plants. Too much to mention but I have loved seeing each and every one. Are your streps grown close to the lights?

To Va_Wild_Rose, great growing from leaves and having blooming plants now. Fantasy streps are not so reliable from leaves. I have has several to bloom solid. I also have a plant of Fancy Pants that blooms the same way Gail's does. Both solid and fantasy blooms.

Ibrabec, what a nice goodie box! Very thoughtful of HGran who has some neat plants shown on this thread.

Gessiegail...on your Smelly Cat. Who else but Rob would name a plant that? Yes, it's a Bristol's.

Imadigger, your violets are so pretty.

syrumani...congrats on the little Tinkerbell.

jannich...love the Blue Leyla twins!

Cute baby, Sally. It sure is fun to see.

phoebesviolets, yes, I think Jacos Gem stays fairly compact. I guess you know it's from wild seed collected in S. Africa from Jaco Truter sent to Brian Grieve who grew them and named one Jaco's Gem.

Mrsbonnie..Jim sure is a good guy. Good luck and have fun growing all those leaves.

And, Plantladylin, your little chirita tamiana is a doll. I have meant to say so many times how I like seeing your surroundings and all the plants you grow in Florida.

I better find something to add. I've been busy and haven't taken the time for photos much less the needed grooming of plants and organizing, re-potting, etc. We know how that goes. One thing I am happy about is a new stand so I'll have more room to spread out. Everything was getting so crowded and jumbled.

Bristol's Moon Moth..first bloom.
