Hi everyone! I've been lurking on the forum the past couple of days and I'm really enjoying all of your lovely blooms! I keep saying I NOT going to set up light stands again but if I keep looking at all these beauties I might just have to move stuff around in the house to set up just ONE stand! ☺

I don't have many Gesneriad's anymore. I threw out my one and only AV yesterday because it was in a terrarium and growing all wonky and looked terrible. I guess I shouldn't have left it in there without any grooming for the past two years!! I have a couple of Chirita's and just got three little plants in the mail a week ago from the Violet Barn (Petrocosmea HT2 and a couple of Episcias. They are so tiny, I forgot how small the plants are that Rob ships. Now I just need to remember to take care of them so maybe they will grow up nice and pretty!

This is Chirita tamiana that I received in a trade here a few years ago. This has been one of my favorite gessie's ... so easy, I don't pay much attention to it at all and yet it survives in my household!
