Diane marie..in the MAIL!
WOW ! In Middle December I ordered Chirita Chastity , and C. Eburnea . Maybe we can put down leaves and share ! I have some Av plants coming to . I told her don't rush after New Years if fine. So I'm not sure . Sometimes I get my email the day after they ship.
I have a nice C. Sinensis Hisako plant for you too if you like !
,
She probably shipped today.
She did a lot of orders today and YUP that sounds GREAT :) I am always up for trades.
As soon as she comes in...I will put some leaves down for ya.
Some of my C. Sinensis Hisako baby plants I just put leaves down a few months ago are getting really large no joke. So I may be sending yours out week after New Years for making room as I am growing several for people. When I get my new ones I will put leaves down of them also ! C. Eburnea I really wanted and one I ordered as it has yellow flowers. C. Sinensis Hisako foliage in unbelievable without flowers but when it flowers dozens of blooms stalks each holding a few blossoms stand high in a lushish large bouquet . I bought it from Bluebirds also and just a breath taking plant !
Oh it sounds it!
I just love the chiritas
Though I hope I have luck with them!
I only have a couple..so still learning how to deal with them!
Their very easy , grow much like Av's and bloom more like Streps. :))
I have Tamiana *SP?* which I think is a chirita :)
She blooms for me and seems to like my happy home :)
My streps are not bloom size yet by a long shot.
I didn't even put leaves down from them since they are too small to actually donate :)
Tamiana I have is a smaller compact Chirtia always happy and blooming ! I lik mine !
I bought my Christmas Morning Streptocarpus plant from BlueBird and it came with a bloom and buds and I have been able to put leaves down and it has grown more. Lorry they don't sell many Streps but what they have are so pretty and nice blooming size ! You should try one of theirs sometimes. When I got my first Chirita plant from them it was a large size with buds also !

Oh cool :)
I will definitely be placing more orders from them when I have more money (laugh)
I can't wait to see them all!
Yes it's the money . And their all so beautiful so many African violets. Everyday I see more I've never seen ! It's hard not to want them all ! Like a kid in a candy store !
