I ordered a MISC group of minis from Bluebird.
I got one that was a really LOVELY surprise..
It is called little bo peep...wow! She is not blooming yet but GREAT leaves!
Here are some pictures of her from FC
She has so many leaves..I am sure I can pop a few to propogate!
And one more with the description.
I just LOVE the storytella varieties!
Little Bo Peep (Storytella) Single light pink. Girl foliage. Miniature
little bo peep has lost her babies and they all went to Vero Beach...he he...that is very, very pretty Lorry
LOL...You can have some leaves if you want when you visit Bob :)
She is even cuter in person! I guess the grab bag was worth it...and it was cheap. I believe it was like 6 minis for 19.00 since I didn't have many of their varieties..I thought it was a good chance :)
u folks are way ahead of me....i'm trying to catch up after 40 years...lol
watching football while doing this and av's...lol
Does anyone know of a place that carries a lot more of the storytella varieties? They were big fans of the variegated girl leaves which I just ADORE!
LOL I will be in front of the tube for the Pats soon!
I did pot up three suckers from lollipop kid today and of ness' firefly..so have some others for you to look at when you get here.
I need to get you caught up to the rest of us LOL
you know Tom Brady is a great quarter back and belichek (sp) always has a good game plan..but i have the feeling they're going to lose tonight...hard to repeat as champs as many years as they have
Bite Your tongue!
hehe you are lucky I like you or would have to wheel on down to Palm Bay to kick your butt!
roflmbbo...hey i'm a big Pat's fan...and espexcially Bruscki (sp)..hope he's ok for the game...he played incredible last year....it is just SO HARD to repeat once let alone 3times...but...the pluses for the Pats...they have been there before and Belichek always has a great plan of attack....Injuries often change the game however....it's always about what team can finish and not lose players to injuiries...
settle down you two! Games on here too!
he he...
Lorry your so lucky ! I love Little Bo Peep:))How come Bluebirds don't have thses plants to order ? I asked them about a Miniature Special order but Libbie did not anser me . I love Mini's :))
Lorry I just went to Bluebird and fount their six miniature special and ordered :)) I hope I get neat plants like you. I think Storytellas are hard to get.
Allison
Little Bo Peep isn't on their web site. when I did my order, I specifically looked for girl leaves. They don't offer many. So you are the lucky duck!
Hoping you will put my name on a leaf!
Lorry... you there? Game still on? LOL!
I know and Lorry got Little Rick too :)) She is a lucky Duck ! I have an order for Little Rick reserved from Violet Gallery as everyone calls my Husband Rick though I have akways called him Robert.
I just ordered the 6 miniature special to see what I get.
Pretty! I love them and what a cute name!
I got two that are not on their site begonia! I think some I got they only sell in leaf only.
She is FULL and lots of leaves to put up..One will have your name on it! of course anything for you darlin!
I am a big fan too Bob..BUT they really did bomb out on this game..Actually both teams sucked BIG time! LOL
I dont' know why they aren't on the site..It is very odd..I am a storytella NUT and want all of them!
I am going to put leaves up of Bo Peep and will put your name on one Allison...or I can send you leaves! This is a VERY healthy plant!
I am sure you will get some cool plants Allison!
I can send you some leaf packets of lil rick and Bo peep to you if ya want. I have a few more plants I need to send your way soo anyhow :)
lorry....you can't make those mistakes and win....my psychology studies "tell me" that subconconciously that when you win all the time....the "primal urge" to dominate subsides...lol....that's the best i can do!!
Aprill..It is a storytella Violet...a lot of them have names like that :)
Rip Van Winkle and so on and so forth :)
lorry, think my plumeria shirt will be a sweatshirt tomorrow...lol...suppose to be 37...in the a.m....yikes...

It was even cold on the left coast this morning! Brrrr. But it's a sunny day now!!
We're having a crab feed tonight again. One of my best friends is here from (chilly) Montana and so she ans my best friend are off to the coast to pick up some fresh Dungeness crabs. Sour dough french bread, melted garlic butter and white wine will complete the dinner!!
I'm staying back because I have DH's undivided attention for the day, now that the game is over! So off to HD to get a sink, hot water heater and all the works to install it into the playhouse. WOO HOO! no more trips back and forth to the house for tea, warm water for plants etc...
I'll post photos (of us pulling each others hair, no only kidding) of the project later.
Bob, that strep Echo looks amazingly similar to the one I got last week. I named mine noid Echo since it really looks so similar.

It's been cold here all weekend too. Low 30's high 50's. Laurie your Strep's are gorgous :))
Wow, do you realize this thread has been up for less than 24 hours, and there are already 36 posts to it..... I'm sure that's no record or anything, but noticing that made me realize what an active forum this has become! What fun!
Lorry, as soon as you posted that picture, you knew I'd be asking you to pretty please put down a leaf for me! :-) What a gorgeous little plant! With a charming name, too!
Lorry when you ordered your xollection of six Miniatures from Bluebird what are the other plants did you get ?
I placed an order for the mini six collection :)) Hope I get some special ones too !
Allison
I got little rick, Little Bo Peep, Toy clown, One is missing a tag..I believe it is faire king or skagit toy asset...It is pink with blue fantasy, arrow shaped leaves with red back *you have any ideas*, Ness' Angel blush and Rob's Cloudy skies.
I am going to try to email Bluebird and see if they can tell me which variety that mini is.
Oh Toy Clown is such a cute Mini :)) You got an awesome collection Lorry ! Hope I get some good goddies too :))
Lorry I did a search on FC for Pink with blue fantasy red back mini/semi search . I came up with 12 but only six it may be.
As the other ones were either variegated or girl foliage.
Then again it may not be in FC.
Go to search and put Pink and blue fantasy in blossoms section. In foliage put red back. And mark down Miniatures/semiminiatures then do search !
But also ask Libbie at Bluebirds to make sure Good LUck ! You got awesome plants :))
Allison
