oh man you missed a thread here where I posted a lot of it. I'll try and hunt it down and post the link.
Here it is, you have to scroll down a bit to the 7th, then you'll see some of mine. (about half)
My FAVORITE is Bauer,the swirl pots. Love Shawnee, McCoy, Brush etc.
begonia...still have some Mccoy....today at good will i saw a complete set of Francoma dishes...u familiar with this pottery...out of Oklahoma?
Wow, Lorry, that's some violet collection! What is that little varigated plant in the yellow pot in the middle front of the third picture. That is really cute!!
thought I'd posted earlier, but it didn't get through...
Thanks for the photos! We needed a pic of you & Lorry, though... :-)
I've been thinking of Bob & Lorry today, knowing they would have a great visit together and a fun little plant swap too, sounds like! Wish I could've joined you!
Wonderful pictures Bob Thanks for sharing your visit ! Just love your dogs Lorry :)) Nice plants too ! WOW you sure do have those leaves down ! Yeah :)) Lot's of babies.
I have the same question Lorry as HP who is the little varigated plant in the yellow pot in the middle front of the third picture ? Thanks, Allison
Oh I remember it Laurie :)

Hadfield..that would be Rob's Argyle socks :)

hi All..yes it was wonderful meeting Lorry...we had such a nice time and looking forward to meeting Chris on Monday....this is one of the best forums around...truly special people...best to you all..bob
Hadfield..if you mean the tiny pot in the front..that is shadow magic..I am sorry.
I thought you guys meant the larger yellow which is argyle socks.
I have leaves of all three of those Rob varieties up though..so may have some to share in the spring.
Hi Lorry,
What is the name of the one I drew a yellow circle around? It's really cute.
Jan...
I think that's the 'Rob's Shadow Magic' that's been generating all the buzz! I think I still have a leaf of it, but no sign of plantlets yet, and I've had it down for months....
Fancy!
I will be the nine-millionth person to request one, of course. What color are the flowers?
They are all so perfectly healthy and well-grown. Congrats!
Kenton
It's beautiful Lorry ! Shadow Magic sure is an awesome plant ! Kenton Rob's Shadow Magic has dark blue flowers. It's supose to have just crown variegations but Lory's is WOW. Lorry is your's a young plant ? First class pictures of it does not look as striking as yours
Here's FC pic one
I have not looked but maybe Rob's and Violet Gallery sells it ?

I LOVE the Rob varieties.
Thanks Allison..I love my pooches too...as unruly as they are!
The black one thinks his sole job in life is to protect poor disabled mommy :)
LOL I am hoping to have plenty for everyone Betsy...so sure :) You are welcome to some lovelies come spring..IF I have luck with the leaves :)
I also have a ton of suckers down from many of these guys.
I had a hard time finding green leaves on it and argyle but I did and have them up..Let's hope I get plantlets from it..if so...I will put you guys on the list :)
LOL and critter gets a gold star for her very educated guess :)
Thanks Allison..I didn't know mine was so unusual! That is great to hear :)
I got him off of ebay from one of my favorite sellers..she has AWESOME plants :)
And lots of Begonias for Laurie :) LOL
