Hi!
I have decided to show off a bit.
This is Kim. My first flowering Strep. I have set 2 leaves for propagation. Each has 6 pieces so, when it is ready, i willl have something to trade. :o)
Showing off Spider
So nice you had to show us three times! LOL!
It's a beauty! looks like you found your camera!
Sorry, I got so excited showing off. Joking, the site was down for me so I kept posting and nothing appeared
Nice! look at your lovelies! Love the one second from the left. Nice full plant!
This is all new. In the first pic i have some of my plants, mostly my baby succulents that I am propagating from leaves and my streps.
The big shelf I got yesterday and it has my newly born baby Adeniums. I have sowed lavender and red colour plants. If anyone wants to put their name down for an Adenium plant, You are welcome. If you don't know what it is please google images Adenium flowers. I do not know how to do links.
I have an Adenium 'Cornell U' that is bald right now. Do you know if they are dormant this time of year and then sprout out later on?
It's very much alive, just sitting there, doing nothing.
to create a link, copy the URL (the part that has h t t p : / / w w w ) from your window address bar and then paste into your reply.
Thank you for the tip Begonia. I did not know it was easy!
Adeniums go dormant in winter. It should start sprouting now.
Oh very pretty spidey :)
Very pretty plant Spider07.
Spider07...love the color!
I am still undecided as to whether I like streps or not.
TFS!

Joanne, I'm not too hip on the acronyms, just finally got Bob's rolling on the floor one. What does TFS = ?
Teach Frogs Science?
well adeniums are a cousin to the plumeria...and walmart and others sell them as DESERT ROSE.....laurie my friend at cornell is a grower of them...wonder if you got some from him....an excellent site to go to is www.fatplant.com...i may be wrong on that site...adeniums...get very fat on the bottom of the plant thus they had a fat plant nursery...i'll have to google it to look it up....i still have some seeds from India but they are about 1.5 years old now...if anyone wants to try them..i can give instructions etc...if you want any...just send a SABSE my name and address is listed..but they are old seeds...but worth a try....
thanks for sharing it...........TFSI..
anna thanks so much...i think i have Kim...not sure though..
Anna,
I think you have some nice looking plants and I think you are off to a great start. You are already setting up your shelves and lights. Great job! Please post more pics when you get it all set up.

Jungle Bob, if no one wants those seeds I will send you a SASBE. I can always grow them and send you some plants if you would like.
anna...when i send your leaves next MOnday...i'll include some for you....as i stated..they are old...but you can give them a try...
nice pics Anna - I noticed the cactus in the backround that is in bud - how did you get it to do that? Mine grows like a weed, but I never get any flowers!
Anna
I will be helping to fill those stands :)) Love your Strep ! So pretty :))
Hi Anita!
About the cactus, i got is from Walmart and it came with flower buds.
Thank you very much Violet. I can send you leaves or cuttings when mine root.
Spider, looks great. I love the strep. I have not tried one of them yet. Really pretty. Your shelf is a lot like mine. Glad you are here!!!!
Hi Hadfieldp!
I adore your photo. So beautiful and cute little plants!
Lovely plants, both of you! TFS, LOL!
Hadfieldp... what is that gorgeous little one with the white & blue bells? It's in the front right corner of the clear tray on your shelf. You're got some beautiful little bloomers there!
Hiya Hadfieldp
I love your setup. All of the little plants in their cute little pots. I think it looks awsome. I need to get mine organized like yours.
JesseK
C'mon Hadfieldp, you're holding out on us. I see all those babies on the bottom shelf, show them off please, more photos!!!
Yes, I agree. I love looking at all the photos of the pretty AVs. Looking at all of your plants really inspires me to want to do a good job with mine.
JesseK
TFST.....so pretty ..folks....on the blooming cacti...they often times put flowering types on other cacti to get some blossoms...usually lots of sun and LITTLE water will give blossoms
yes - we want some more! I love the little bells on the right!
I think that is called Pewter Bells. I will check when I get home. It really is cute. That is the only one I have that has that shape flower. My leaves are not really doing so hot. I will show you a picture tonight and get your opinions. Maybe the lights need to be changed, I dunno.
Spider, how'd you get your name?
Hadfielp, the real Spider is my beloved dog.
Violet, you are right. Spider looks a bit like your Precious. You have a beauty there!!!

I was just looking at Rob's Violets and found the Streptocarpus. I had no idea that they were so beautiful. And the flowers are awsome. I know that my DH would love to have some of those. I will have to check into these a little more.
JesseK
She is a pretty one.
thank you Begonia. I will check that!
Here's one of my AVs with first blooms:
What a cute little baby. what is her name? Hadfieldp, you have lovely plants and setting.
Right now she has no name. : ( I did not write it on the pot; will have to look it up on my paperwork. Here is another new bloomer for me. Very slow grower, though.
Here are my healthy leaves and babies. Very, very slow growing..............
And here are the leaves I am going to toss.....either they got too cold and froze while they were shipped, or it is because I did not put a top on them like I did on my other tray. The box stayed on my porch overnight. The mailman normally doesn't do that, so....I think the cold may have done them in. Any thoughts?
Awwww Had, they are superb!
Where do you get these little cups from? Do you buy them? I am interested in getting some. thank you!
Had, hang on to the a bit longer, they look ok for the most part. I've had wilty leaves pull through for me. A bit of humidity around them might help too. maybe a dish of water near by. Love your pottery! I'm a pottery junkie!
Your babies are darling! nice work!! and thanks for sharing.
cheers,
Laurie
