wow - that's georgeous!
Their beautiful Bob. I sent you an Alsobia they are great in hanging basket you may want to put yours into one someday !
I use to have several of the angels . I bought them at Lowes. I loved the Purple Passion plant I had. I planted it outside and it grew large. People woulld come and take cuttings. Another plant I wish I had taken with me. Oh I wish for another !
It does not look like these people ship retail ? Just large amounts ?
Gosh how I'd love some of them :))
morning allison...they only do wholesale...if you haven't done it..take the virtual tour thats on that link above...it's a large operation of 30 acres i think...think most places have that purple passion..i'll look for you.
allison..yes the alsobia you sent is growing very well and it may end up in a basket soon...thanks again..
bumb for jesse
Thanks bob. I really appreciate your help. :)

jesse..youre welcome...if you haven't done it..take the virtual tour at the above link...very interesting...
I have been to this site many times, and have even taken their survey. I have emailed them many times telling them that they have some wonderful plants but they need to get the names right. I have bought 3 different plants from them that were mislabled and made it very hard for me to find out any information on them. I do not know if they even paid my email any attention but maybe if a lot of people emailed them they might take notice.

jesse..send your email to Wolfgang Hermann...and see if he doesn't respond
jesse did you see this contact info.....i would call them at their 800 # or email to person listed below
Business (800) 722-6435 Fax (407) 886-0094
Contact: bisser@hegangel.com
I did not even think of calling them but that would be a good idea. Thanks for the number and the email address. I think it is different from the one that I used. Thank you Bob.
JesseK
jesse you're welcome...i'll bet they'll send you some freebies....lol.....i would say..
..HELLO...I'M CALLING BECAUSE WOLFGANG HERMANN TOLD ME TO CALL IF I EVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS.....etc
I like that Bob. What a great idea. I wonder what kind of response I would get if I did that. I might be too chicken to do that but DH will do anything. He was born with a cell phone in one ear, a wireless in the other, and a keyboard clutched in his tiny little hands. LOL
JesseK
well i can assure you they would love it....and it will get their attention....they want you to be satisfied...give it a try....
Well after all this time, I have finally found my plant. The reason that I could not find it was because it was labeled as a lipstick plant when it is really a Columnea. Here it is: http://www.gesneriads.ca/colum188.htm I found it while looking through some Columnea plants. It is called Columnea 'Cascading Beauty'. This plant is identical to mine so now I know what I need to order so that I can finally have one again. Mine was about as half as long as this one. So now you can see why I was so upset when I lost it.
Jesse
Hope you can get another one some day Jesse ! So pretty .
Me too Allison. I have found a small one for $6.50 that I might order next time we get paid, if we ever do. I do not mean to complain that we do not have any money, and that is not it. My DH works so hard, day and night, putting all of his effort into trying to keep this company going, and still does not get what he is owed. It just really makes me so mad for him.
Jesse
Sorry Jesse yes he should get paid for his hard work !
Thanks Allison. They have told him today that he is going to get paid ALL that he is owed some time today but I have heard that story before. They also said that he is supposed to fly out on Sunday but we are not sure about that either. I will not be able to go with him if he goes but I will have all of my babies and all of you guys to keep me company this time so it will not be too bad. Hopefully if he goes they will not keep him so long like they did last time. I sure hope that he is not gone for more than two weeks.
Jesse
Wow- that's quite a plant!
