Look, who decided to bloom today! :) I grow some of my Sinningia pusilla and other micro minis unenclosed. This one is on a wick under lights.
June pictures and chit chat
Just wanted to show you mylittle one, Cajun's McKenna Trail. Such a cutie!! Needs repotting badly but I want to enjoy the blooms first.
Melanie
This is adorable, Melanie! So cute!
looks like a little prince. cute
really pretty,good job
Thanks so much! I really love this little guy. Just so that you know, he's in a 1 oz cup, and badly needs repotting.
And that precisely is what makes it so cute. Those tiny little leaves and flowers growing in that tiny little cup... :)
Those are some impressive photos, Olaf!
I just got an AV that I love--Skies of Italy. It's supposed to be challenging, anyone have any experience with it?
Thanks a lot!
I just looked at a picture of 'Skies Over Italy' and that's some nicely variegated foliage! Reminds a bit of a Chirita for some reason.
Smithiantha 'Tropical Sunset' x 'An's Sognare Firenze'. Love the foliage. I have no idea what the flowers will be like. I can't wait for late Summer...
Sinningia 'Country Crocus':
Sinningia 'Country Tiger' x self. A different seedling than last time.
Sinningia 'Gabriel's Horn Mutant'. I never get tired of it. It's definitely my favorite compact Sinningia.
Very pretty pictures Olaf.Your smith seedling looks good,love the leaf coloring,are you growing it in pebbles?
Melanie.Your trailer is to cute ^_^
Jan
Thanks Jan!
The pebbles are just top dressing. :)
Great job Melanie!!
Beautiful plants Olaf!

This is who had to come home with me from the show:
Saintpaulia 'Rob's Love Bite'. So cute. I just had to have it. :)
Streptocarpus 'Bristol's Party Boy'. Always wanted this one. Keep your fingers crossed. :)
Sinningia speciosa 'Bristol's Love Potion'. Still droopy and mad at me. She'll be fine.
Kohleria 'Flirt'. Couldn't walk past this one. I already have too many Kohlerias but the foliage and flowers on this one are just too gorgeous.
Nautilocalyx sp. 'Burle Marx'. Nice one. Magenta flowers. It had two but they didn't make it. It's full of buds, though. I'll keep you all posted.
They are all beautiful! I couldn't have walked past the 'Flirt' either. What a great combo of foliage and bloom. Looks like a great hall. Lou
Thanks Lou!
The show was a lot of fun. So many Violets to look at, so little time. The selection of plans for sale was very nice - just not exactly my cup of tea. However, that also helped curb my compulsion... LOL
Rob's had a whole half of their booth full of blooming Kohleria starters. It was tough and I was sweating bullets but I succeeded in only buying one compact growing one.
I was surprised of myself to be buying a Violet but 'Rob's Love Bite' was just too cute to pass up. :)

This image may be anticlimatic, but it is a photo of a NOID AV in rebloom. When I bought it this winter at the supermarket, it was pretty bashed up and the flowers were like dried parsely. It's amazing what a good window, enough water and a little grooming can do in a matter of a couple of months. I hope this works -- it's my first uploaded picture.
bEAUTIFUL!!! You rescued a real winner. Keep uploading phots. We all love to see them. Lurker Lou
Nothing anticlimactic about this picture!
I agree with Lou: You rescued a winner. Nice job!
Olaf
