Rrav's Irish Elf (mini or semimini)

Medford, NJ

This is one of my favorite baby plants, I got it at the AV show in May. It isn't quite as bright green as it looks in the photo, the color is more of a bluish forest green. I am noticing the new leaves do not have much variegation, either. The leaves are stiff, more brittle than most AV's and it has very flat way of growing. When I bought it, it had one bud, pink, but it never opened and eventually shriveled up and died. It is also growing more slowly than most of my other baby plants.

Someone found a description for me somewhere, but I misplaced it. And I can't find it anywhere online. I am just curious if anyone grows this, or has a photo of a bigger plant, maybe one in flower?

If you join the AVSA and get the wonderful magazine teaching you how to grow and what to grow, you will pay as an individual for 30.00

Then, since you are a member of AVSA you can buy the First Class for less on the AVSA website. After the initial payment of about 27.00 each year you renew for only 11.00 and can update First Class about every two months ...............

You can do all of this online at AVSA
