Hi all! If you've noticed my absence the last few days, I've been sick. Better now, thank goodness. I managed to pick up a few AVs, though, and wanted to share pictures of them. All of them are Optimara, I do believe. All the names are per the tags in or on the pots, so if any of the names are wrong, please let me know.
Here is Rhapsodie Cora. She's my favorite of the whole bunch!
This is Tamires
I have looked these up, but can't find a few of them, so if you know anything about them, I'd love the info.
Here's Ultra Violet Solar.

This is Ultra Violet Fireball, which I had to get because my hubby is a fireman. :o) He has his collection of fire memorabilia, so I can have a collection of fire AVs! LOL

And here is Georgia. It's a bit darker pink than this, but the flash made it look washed-out.
And then the minis!
This is Little Blackfoot (on the left) and Little Arapahoe.
Both are real beauties! Love that RC!
And finally Little Hopi. There are two named Little Hope, both pink, one with fantasy. I looked them up and found a Hopi and a Hopi II, so I believe one on the left with fantasy is Little Hopi II and the solid pink is Little Hopi.
They are beauties!! I think Solar is my favorite! I wouldn't mind trading you for a leaf when I know the Noid leaf will be safe to send.
Anita
whoa you beat me to the 'enter key' All are lovelies!
Did you find them at a store? If so, nice! or mail order?
I found them at Walmart, if you can believe it! They haven't had any this pretty before!
I'd be tickled to send you leaves, Anita! I'm going to put down leaves of them in the next couple days, so maybe I'll even have a plantlet to send you a bit later on.

Yippee
Well, I just looked them up, and it appears that Solar above is actually Ultra Violet Saturn, and Saturn above looks to be Ultra Violet Solar. Wonder if they switched the tags on those?
I got another Ultra Violet Flash, too. :o)
I love when the blooms have that white trim - is there a term for that ?- like the specks are fantasy.
Wow, from WalMart, no less. Way to go. That Saturn is really pretty. : )
I just saw that about Fireball being UV Fireball, too, Allison. And you know I already had you in mind for the Littles! You're at the top of the list for those! :o)
And, I just had to check some of the leaves I put down to see if they were doing anything. I tend to be a bit impatient and get antsy! LOL The UV Flash and UV Meteor leaves I put down the same day I put down the leaves from the first box you sent me, Allison, have roots! They were put down on January 13. I didn't check any of the ones you sent me, because I didn't want to disturb them, but I just know they have roots, too! **Doing the happy Snoopy dance!** LOL
rain...some great plants and pics....i haven't cked the stores lately....but they sure look like winners to me...thanks for sharing
RG, we did miss you! I was hoping you were just having a fun, busy week... so sorry to hear you were ill!
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous new bloomers! Walmart!?!! Who knew?!?
Anita, I think that white trim is just called a "white edge" in bloom descriptions.
I have three UV Flash, so there will be plenty of those to share, Anita. :o)
hadfield, which Saturn, the assumed or the actual? LOL I'll edit the posts...
OK I changed the names so they are correct.

Aww, thanks for missing me, Jill! :o)
I love sharing pics of my AVs with all of you! I couldn't wait to get them ready to post! LOL
I was super surprised to find these at Walmart! They had lots of other very pretty ones, but I couldn't justify buying more than this all at once. LOL I had told my hubby to go easy on his shopping in sporting goods, so I had to watch it, too. I'll try to sneak back up there soon and see what they've got. I did get all the minis they had, though! ;o)
Oh, I guess I meant the ultra violet solar?
OK. Just wanted to make sure I had the correct one you liked. I changed the names after you posted so they'd be correct. :o)
Wowowow Love them :)
especially cora and saturn
