I have already ordered from someone in Houston and from Pat's Pets. I am trying so hard to be good and not order except for my Secret Bunny person. : )
Second Try. Found Petrocosmea
This is what they say about thier catalogs:
Quoting:
If you are used to getting the full version of our printed catalog, we will be doing things differently this year. In order to pay for higher fuel bills, we will be publishing a smaller "supplement" of just our new, 2006 varieties. The 2005 catalog will still be valid to use, and prices will remain the same this year! If you have ordered from us within the past 4 years, you will automatically receive the 2006 supplement in the mail. (No need to send a request for one!) We usually send it out in the mail sometime before April.
So how can I get a copy of the 2005 copy and the addon 2006 copy?
Jesse
Which catalog are you talking about? I am confused (this is easily accomplished).
Jesse, who's catalog are you referring to? Lyons or Robs or someone? Also how did you do that nifty quote box?
I am referring to the Lyndon Lyon. This what they have written on their web site.

Dear Friends,
Welcome to our Website! We are pleased to present to you, this year, our newest introductions for 2006! As always, we have included many of our favorite, older varieties of violets, as well as other choice "companion plants". A small selection of terrarium plants is also offered.

So I need a 2005 catalog and the 2006 supplement to get the whole thing. Does anyone have any extra's?
Jesse
I know Bob got his. This is my first time ordering so I don't have one. Sorry I'd gladly give it to you as it's easier for me to look on line.
Jesse, how did you do that quote box? And if I see a catalog I'll get it for you. Did your magazine ever arrive?
In my Gesneraids journal First Quarter 2006 is a picture of Petrocosmea parryorum
To Die for. Now this Petrocosmea I would love to have !
Jesse in the back of the Journal Lyndon Lyon has an add and it says for a Catalog send $3.00.

Yes, I did get the magazine that you sent me. Thank you so much. And then today I got a new one. It was so exciting sitting down going through them, looking at the beautiful pictures and reading the articles.
Here is how you do a quote box. You first type [quot], but spell it corrrectlly, then type your text, then type [/quote]at the end. The reason I mispelled the world quote is because it would have made the actual quote but would not have allowed me to show you how to do it. And that is all you need to do. It will make the box and put the quotes in blue.
When working with commands like that, the [ ] starts and action and the [/ ] ends it. Or some people use the term of opening and closing.
I hope that did not confuse you. If so, I will try to explain it a little better. You can also click on F.A.Q while making a post and it is the 4th question that is answered.
Jesse
no not confusing at all. It's like HTML right. and you use the brackets not the bird beaks? (greater than / less than ) symbol.
ok gonna give it a try..

JesseK is a great Peep for teaching me how to use quotes
Thanks Jesse! I got it! Coolie!
You are very welcome anytime. You can use the bird beaks for things like italics and bold.
Jesse
WOW Jesse your so smart ! Thanks for teaching us :))
Hi Jesse,
Quoting:
Joanne says Jesse is really smart and thank you for sharing these kewl effect with us
Joanne
Thanks Joanne. I have learned a lot because of my geek husband. I just recently got a new computer, one of those little tiny ones that has the cooling liquid in it. So we brought it home and hubby handed it to me and said "it is yours so you build it." And I did. Of course I had him standing by just in case I needed help.
And talking about writing code, he is a programmer and has tought me some things. But most of what he does looks like greek to me. He is really smart.
Jesse
Hi Jesse,
Maybe we should start a group for computer geeks! I love computer stuff!
Joanne
In my Gesneraids journal First Quarter 2006 is a picture of Petrocosmea parryorum
To Die for. Now this Petrocosmea I would love to have !
I went to LL and they do have Petrocosmea parryorum :)) I just had to add it to my order :)) If I had not seen the Photo in my Gesneraid book I would never have fallen in love with it. Now I just must have it !
Woo hoo! Got my petrocosmea and chiritas, too. : )
this one is petrocosmea forestii
This is really cute. My favorite, I think. Petrocosmea Minor.
How cute and pretty and shiney :)) Where did you get them pam ! What size pot are they in ? How big do they get ?
Ha! I don't know how big they get! : ) They are in 3 inch solo cups right now, just like AVs. They don't get that big, though (I am not too sure). Really not a whole lot of reading information on them. The national gesneriad society (forgot the name, something like AGGA) has good pictures. Mostly they are treated like AVs I think. They like it a little cooler. I am gonna have to read up on them. Got them from an individual in Houston. He and his wife both are gesneriad folks. They judge shows in Texas, I think.
Here is Chirita Gemella. It is really nice, too.
WOW your lucky ! Were these the ones you were waiting on the mealies to be gone ?
What about Chirita Gemella do you know what color flowers ?
No, I did not buy the one with the mealies. ewww.... : ) Chirita Gemella has light purple flowers with what looks like light yellow throats.
Bumping just because I wanted everyone to see my new petrocosmea. Purely selfish. : ) Have a good Easter!
BTW I really have plenty of leaves to share if someone needs some. Anyone new out there that is trying to get started?
Hi Pam,
Glad you bumped because I missed this before :-) Would love some leaves if you don't mind.
Sharon
Sharon, I have some mini leaves, some standard leaves, one plant of a space baby (forgot the name) and some petrocosmea leaves (they are very tiny and may be pretty fragile, but I would be glad to send them to you. Let me know what size plants you like. Pam : )
Pam I did not mean you got the plants with the mealies. lol no way . I meant were they the people you could not buy before beacause they had some plants that might have mealies ? Oh I'm so counfused forget it.
No, this was someone different. The other person was very nice to tell me that though. Have a good day tomorrow!!
Cool ! Yes they were. I was just thinking they had some healthy plants now for you. I'm so Happy you were able to get these beaustifl plants ! Thanks for sharing them Pam !
Happy Easter.
Sharon, check your dmail. : )
