I'm so excited about my finding today. All I need now is the watermelon one or the ant one and I'll be a happy camper...lol.

What a beautiful Dischidia, Donna. One of my favorites!!!

The 'watermelon one' is D. ovata and there are actually 3 (or 4?) different clones...all similar but very different. I love them!!! I grow all three in the same pot and they look good together!!!

Dischidias are special and I am becoming more and more fond of them...

That million hearts is a beauty !! One of my favorite dischidias. The dischidia pectinoides is a nice one. I love the little pillows it makes. So many favorites and so little room!!

You will like the dischidia pectinoides. Mine has been blooming all summer. They are easy to grow. They are viney compared to the million hearts.

Nice find!

Your'e really coming up with some good ones, lately!

I had that once (the 'million hearts') and it became infested with mealies.....warning! Don't use the alcohol spray on that plant for mealy bug control......it gradually declined to such a bad state that I had to discard it!!

That is a nice find. Mine came from Gemila and you should have seen the gorgeous shade of green it arrived in! I have never been able to get it to look like that ever since!

Thanks, Nan. I know....lol! I really work hard in finding them to.
Thanks, Susan. I wonder why it would have changed colors unless it's lacking something maybe?

How do you do it, Donna?
Do you go 'plant shopping' often?

(I did for a while...but that got me in trouble!) lol!!

When my son was in treatment we were visiting a large city every 2 weeks. He didn't really want me hanging around watching him, so I'd go and visit the nurseries.

Going every 2 weeks, I always ran into something new...it was fun....while it lasted, and it got my mind off things!
