Did you find it at a florist? or HD

Well you can guess on the name if it's not on plant but can't be 100 percent sure. Optimara did not register her.
She is beautiful Bob !
Bob now you need FC. :))

allison..i am trying very hard not to get "sucked into" this addiction...lol....well if optimara names it as their....i think it should be called optimara rita....and by the way....(going back to the 60's when the fighting raged at AVSA....causing splinter groups including the gessie societies).....why should we think that AVSA is the no it all?...yep, i know they have the history, records....etc...but i don't think we should have a coronation for them..he he

hi laurie...nope got it at walmart...would never buy at a florist..too much markup...by the way...my 4 streps came today from exotic violets...and i am VERY IMPRESSED with them...the way they wrapped everything is incredible..HOWEVER...for some reason i'm not picking up the pinks in the pics...all the other colors correct.....have never had this problem...i will take another pic of them in the sunlight tomorrow..

kay..glad you jhave one like it..i think it's very pretty...post your pic if you can...bob

Bob beautiful Streps ! Ok it starts with just a few ! Their so easy to grow and by leaf too ! Oh my goodness and they can put on a blooming show year round. There's nothing like them ! I posted some pictures last month with a throw away camera. I'll try to get some good ones tomorrow with my new camera :)0 Christmas Morning, Cynthia, and Daniel are blooming. I have a few new babies I grew by leaf I can take their pictures too. I have one cool one where
the baby is growing in the middle of Mom leaf. lol
