The flowers are way awesome and pink in foliage. The flowers colors are much more deeper in person.
This is Jill's plant but she won't remember if anyone wants to steal it lol

Yes they are by Ethel Champion...I think Jill is growing me a miget or two. I may have more coming from Violet Gallery .

Frederick, MD(Zone 6b)

WOW, good growing!

I do too remember that you have a 'Buckeye Cherry Topping' for me! LOL That one was near the top of my list on my trade tracker... Admittedly, I lost track of a lot of the ones that I'd love to have from you because after a while I realized that I could have 100 on my wish list if I kept asking for them all, and I also realized that I'd adore whatever plants you put in my box!

OK, I have to admit that I'm also especially excited about 'Midget Lillian' and 'Electric Cowboy'! 'Cajun Trail' makes my heart go pittypat, too, so I'm hoping you'll have good luck propagating it. :-) Allison, I'll pick out the best of my 'Midget Gumdrop' plantlets for you, but I am really hoping they will put on some growth in the next month or two... None of them look nearly as nice as that 'Midget Lillian'! On the other hand, your 'Peppermint Girl' plantlet has its first bud and is just adorable...

Frederick, MD(Zone 6b)

I've got 'Midget Silver Fox' on my VG order. :-)

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

I'm just teasing you Jill ! But I am saving special plants for you for trade :)) Don't you have Cajun trail ? I know I'm sending you Chimera SunRay Trail .
You can have both and more :))

Thumbnail by Allison_FL
Frederick, MD(Zone 6b)

Ooooh! I'm very excited about both of those! You are too sweet to me!!

I knew you were teasing... LOL... just didn't want any of the other Buckeye fans to be having designs on that plant! Actually, with all the other goodies you've got for me, if somebody else also really, really, really wants that plant, go ahead and send it to them... but send me a leaf!

I don't have 'Cajun Trail', and I've been dreaming about it since you posted that first bloom photo!

I may have to hit eBay this spring to find a special chimera that I can propagate & share.... :-)

Abilene, TX

Those are beautiful. You have the magic touch. : )

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

JIll to be honest your better off to buy a Chimera from Violet Barn or Lyons. I paid$ 53,00 which was a bit crazy. I guess beacasue it was a trailer, I had never seen it before and no vendor had it for sale. I like trailer Chimeras their easier to get babies from !
I almost lost it twice, once it was half dead when I got it.I will send both trailers to you :))

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

OH yes now we can't forget Laurie will be visiting . lol
Just kidding I have some real great plants of her wishes put away for her :))

Long Island, NY(Zone 6b)

ok Allison - I'm coming to FL - sneaking in and boxing up one of each of these! Those streps are beautiful! You have to have your husband add a room for you! Then you have to have a cam hooked up so we can look in at the flowers whenever we want!

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

Anita when are you coming ? Well I will be able to ship you a lot of plants :)) Just a few boxes before you and
we need just a little warm breeze to help out the heat packs and insulation ! I potted up about 50 more babies tonight. Some SPace babies EverLOve's, EverSpecial's, and some EverJoy's some Russian babies. Some Bell's of Ireland, Marmalade's, Aca's Marie a few off the top of my head :))
I put more leaves down of Strep Crystal Dawn, Cynthia and Daniel today. I have not much room but the strep babies I grow root and grow fast and some babies have buds already :))
So much excitment !

Long Island, NY(Zone 6b)

I'm all tingly!!!
