they are so pretty! I would say the pansy looking one is Rita, Davinci or maybe Gaugin. The other could be Chagall. Tough to tell. I don't know why they just don't label them!

anita..i'm sure the one is rita..and i forget what i looked up on the other one...but it's fun to "dress" them up with the diff cutouts and frames...i need to put leaves down from them...Lorry has them as well..they were from the HD early last week.

The one frustrating part about putting down leaves is the month long wait....for ears!

and can be longer than that...i've been experimenting just putting the leaves in a plastic container with no water other than their own condesation and been there since jan 2nd...leaves look great...but not one ear yet....course i know of better methods etc..but wanted to see how this worked

It's wonderful they will bloom for months take a break for a few days and start all over again.
It's really hard to find their real names as there are so many in FC that look like them. You ever notice Optimara when your looking at a plant page down and it will also give you a new name. Or they'll name it number !!. And most now a days they don't even name. As hard as it is to buy the named Optimara and their Rhapsody seiries and as expensive they are just for leaves they should put names on them.
I trans planted about 50 babies tonight . Lots of them Space babies :))

I might have grown a lot of babies but don't have more than others anymore as soon as the babies are large enough they are adopted out . No room here but I sure enjoy gorwing them by leaf :))

Gorgeous flowers, Bob, and a nifty job of editing! I like the lacy frame on your heart-shaped crop.
