Just for fun, everyone start posting pictures from the past of something you loved growing. I don't have names on most of mine because I didn't know that I would keep growing them 2 years later and need the names.
I remember this Sinningia speciosa Jack Evans red. (before my new camera)
Sinningia 'Amizade' from seed also.
I had totally forgotten about 'Grape Splash' (I think by Sorano)
someone else join in..................
This one is OT. Gail, you said old pictures, but didn't say it had to be gessies.
It's a clivia that I grew from seed.
Bristol's Very Berry.......forgot how much I love her
Imadigger, I am soooooo impressed you grew that Clivia from seed. Where did you get the seed if you don't mind my asking. I would love to try Clivia from seed.
That is why I love old pictures.........reminds us of plants we might want to grow again.....or for the first time.......
Please post any pictures of plants grown in the past.........
****edited to say keep posting Imadigger!!!

Gloxinia 'Sylvatica' from Goldleaf
didn't keep names
Nun's Orchids starting to bloom..........now I have taken them out of the 4" pots and just filled that container......and she needs to be divided.
Gail, clivia seeds came from Ken Smith-Australia and Nick Primich-South Africa. In 2000, I had posted either here or on Gardenweb.com that I was looking to grow clivia from seed. These two gentlemen were very generous and sent me seeds. I lost the tags on the four plants I have out of all the seeds, so don't know which is which. Some were supposed to be yellow or apricot. Two of them are still in pots and the other two I put in the ground. That was a mistake. They don't like our sun at all. The ones in the ground are doing poorly and as soon as I get back from GD's wedding, I'm going to put them back into pots and in full shade like the other ones.
Here's a picture of the first bloom this year on this one. The flowers were few and much lighter in color.
Thanks, so much, Imadigger. I knew it was too pretty to come from seeds we can order. Yes, I hope you get those others out of the ground and back into pots.........They are just wonderful blooms.
Oooh, loving all these beauties! Love Synningia amazade! And, also the Glox. sylvatica!
Gail, that's not Nun's Cap orchid in your photo but lovely Jewel Orchids! Really nice! I have one teeny one that isn't doing much!
Imadigger: The Clivia is gorgeous! I saw a picture of your other beautiful Clivia on the other thread! Great job growing from seed! I can't keep Clivia alive for some reason, have one that is just barely breathing!
I forgot to share an old picture! Wish I still had this beautiful Columnea 'Carnival'
Oh, thanks Lin..........I also have a nun's orchid............getting older I think!!!!
Wow, wouldn't you love to have that 'Carnival' again...........
Let me see if I can find the real Nun's Orchid in old pictures.
I just found this picture of sinningia 'Mighty Mouse' from Bonnie. Why oh why do I always get tired of growing something and then later..........go........what was I thinking?
Gail, maybe you have a PRADHD (plant related attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder)
I don't think they have a cure yet, so don't go and start snorting ritalin or anything.
PS...next time you get tired of one of Bonnie's micro mini sinnigias, I will be happy to give it a new home!
I don't have any micro mini sinningias anymore..........boo hoo............
I love my new diagnosis, jmp.............fits me to a tee!!!
PRADHD---Good one jmp! ^_^
Mighty Mouse is so cute.
Come on ladies and gents. We need old pictures to remind us of what we may want to grow.
African Violet Heinz Unchained
African Violet 'Hot Summer Day' (maybe Summer's)
Wrangler's 'Green Pastures'
sinningia AC 1503
OH, jannich.........I have to go find my Sinningia AC 1503 that you gave me..............this is fun.
