AVs from Violet Treasure

Hi everyone. I got my battery recharged. : ) I will try to attach some pictures of the beautiful plants Allison sent me this week:

This is Fairy Fountains (trailer with blooms and so cute!)

Here is the winner for most unusual: Albosia Cygnet:

Winner for cutest shape: Milky Way Trailer. It is so compact and green and healthy looking and has blooms on the way. : )

Will send more later, but that is some of them.................they are all really nice. Thanks, Allison. Hope you are enjoying your camera.

Ali's kindness spreads from coast to coast!!! NICE plants Hadfieldp! Thanks for sharing.

They are all so beautiful. I particularly like the shape of the Milky Way Trailer. I would love to have some trailers. I've never had any of them but the are so pretty. The Albosia Cygnet is also very interesting. I love things like that that are so unique.

Aren't they all just super?! I know how excited you were to receive her package! I got an Albosia Cygnet from Allison, too. I think it's just the cutest little thing! It's so neat to open that package and see little blooms and buds looking up at you! Thanks for sending the pictures!

Thank you for the pictures. They look so beautiful !
and Happy to be with their new Mom ! I think trailers are so much fun to grow there's no better :))
I try to send everyone a trailer or 3 :))
Beautiful pictures thanks for sharing ! Allison

i love the trailers.....CAN i please ask everyone to ck out orkid lady's thread on the 2002 avsa national awards..has pics of winning trailers plus lots of others...

Is there a special way to grow trailers?

Bob, it's in our Sticky too.

Yes I want to say to everyone " Sticky " Sticky " It's a great link Bob check out Sticky please lol

Jungle Bob - I couldn't find that thread with AVSA 2002 winners. Where is it exactly?

Take a look at the section near the end called Photos and Galleries

Found it. Those are great. Some of them don't look like they are real. : )

HP ! I let mine trailers grow wild and when their large
they go into pan pots ! The more crowns the ,more
flowers ! The trailers i sent you are in new pots grown
by leaf budding for the first time ! these trailers need no help or pinchinch they are great natural trailing habits.

Your trailer pictures are way so awesome . Most trailers do have natural trailing habits. I like to let mine strut their stuff. Rob say's his trailers have natural trailing habits too and don't require much pinching his just trail.

I am still learning with the trailers! LOL..I have such a tendency to wanna pinch!

Trailers are the same as other African violets in every way except one--growth habit. These are branching plants that have a naturally spreading habit.

My trailers are doing great, Allison. I have not been around much, work is really busy right now. All the plants you sent are doing great. : )

Oh Good ! I'm happy you like them. I bet baby Milky Way Trail will be filled with blossoms soon and all your other plants too :)) I hope you get many babies with your leaves. ! Don't work to hard. Allison

Here is another picture of some of the plants Allison sent. From left to right, Rebel's Crested Robin, Music Box Dancer, and Raspberry Queen. Raspberry Queen is starting to bloom. Have been wanting Music Box Dancer. yea!!!! : )

Music Box Dancer.Really wow glad it jumped into your box.Raspberry Queen I can't wait to see its first bloom
they are to die for !!

Looking for a nice trailer another one is Fairy Fountain top picture posted by HP :))
Fairy Fountains (P. Tracey) Double pink star. Light green, glossy. Semiminiature trailer

Pam I fount the pictures of two of your trailers when you first go them one in bloom and one full of buds ! They looked really great ! It was their first bloom period I grew them by leaf ! Your other plants should be blooming soon to :))
If your trailers are no longer blooming and their getting all they need I'm not sure why ? But in our sticky is much info why my plants won't bloom ?

I really need to to some reading. I don't have as many of anything blooming right now as I did a few months ago, but the trailers just have not bloomed at all, except right after you sent them. (they miss you. ha ha) I may not have them in the right kind of pot. I dunno. Plus I never ordered the Eleanors V11 or whatever that is and I need to do that. We'll see what that does. The big one (fairy fountains, I think) really looks great, but no flowers. I also unplugged my heat mat from under my leaves when I went out of town and have that back on now. It was helping, I think. A few more little babies sprouted while I was gone. : )

I like to follow the simple basic steps. And the number one culprit of no flowers is light. I know back in December you posted you could not get your plants to bloom so I don't think it has anything to do with them missing me lol as I had not sent any yet. lol
This link of your thread is in our Sticky Darn bloom somthing. I bumped it up as it was a good thread with good information. Also in the sticky is a lot of info about blooming. I think if you go back to basics of growing African violets keep it simple you'll have all your plants blooming !
