Quite possibly the most beautiful Strep I grow! My kids, who don't really even like my plants, both chose this as their very favorite flower out of everything that's currently blooming. ^_^

I can't find a picture of this anywhere, but I'm thinking Jan sent it to me quite a while back. Jan, do you, or did you, grow this one?

I am warning you ladies you have to stop doing this. What in heaven's name am I going to do if I keep wanting more plants? Every picture is more beautiful but that's not even possible. They are just all so lovely and this one is truly a gorgeous plant

Speaking of streps,there's some leaves on ebay now for a good price.Sounds like the seller has a awesome collection

Jan, Stoplight by David Thompson is one of my very favorite reds right now..............good job of growing . She is wonderful looking!!

Chicago, IL

Jan I already have notes everywhere! I'm thinking I need to put them in a list but if I do that I have to admit that I really want them and that this has passed from hobby to addiction. And I only have 1 leaf with babies and NOID so far and I'm already addicted.

Guess what Anna? It gets worse!! LOL!! Welcome to the club!

Anna,
Are you saying you might like to try something besides AVS?? Maybe I should tuck a few extras things in your box.....LOL.

Strep 'Helter Skelter'

There was a knick on a leaf of Helter Skelter and now she is forming a new plant. Going to let her grow big enough to cut off and root her.

This is a newly grown from a leaf 'Hot Time Tonight' by Nancy Block and she doesn't have the 'ruffled' look yet.

My camera will not do justice to this 'Noid' strep. You can really see the yellow and lavender against the white. Does anyone recognize her?

I just jumped up to put coffee filters on my avs with tight centers and pulled the whole computer apart tripping on a wire (LOL)
Glad it still works after a 'little fixing'
Strep 'Picotee Dreams'

An unmarked av from LLG a couple of months ago. Never had an order that bad sent to me. They substituted standards for minis, etc...........just a really bad order.

AV 'Old Fashioned Rose'

Very first bloom on Russian 'White Nights'.........and I am sure they will get much larger in size of blooms.

Strep 'Somserset Gold Burgundy' .........you can't see the yellow center.

I should have taken a picture a month ago..........as 'Silvia' is just about tired and bloomed out!

"An unmarked av from LLG a couple of months ago. Never had an order that bad sent to me. They substituted standards for minis, etc...just a really bad order."

Gail...did you try to reconcile that order with Paul?

Chicago, IL

You MUST stop this! It's pure torture to look at these one after another and all just so pretty. I thought Blue Network which you posted first was stunning. Then I wrote down nine more that I also loved. Night Edition, katie, Helter Skelter and Butter Blues were equally stunning while Picotee Dreams was so sweet. The NOID is also gorgeous as is Franken Borderline and Victorian Lace and SOmerset whatever GOld.

Sigh. I never should have come here. Never, never, never.

OK< so I give. Streps are incredible too. But don't they get really big? I can't have things that get really big! (although I think that may be where my heart is)

Taft, TX(Zone 9a)

No, I did send him a picture of two plants mismarked and did complain that they substituted two mini and semi minis for standards, but he never answered. I have been a loyal customer of his, too.

Land of OZ, CT(Zone 6a)

That doesn't sound like him--I would call him, or resend the message--might have gotten lost--if I were you. I'm sure he would want you to be satisfied with his plants.When I met him, the one thing that impressed me most is that he really loves his plants!

Taft, TX(Zone 9a)

I think he is a great guy.........it doesn't bother me.....
He had a young man working for him filling orders and he didn't know anything about plants, I could tell by asking questions.
The lady who normally takes orders wasn't there...........
So........I love Paul and am not going to worry about it at all.....
