I got a box full of leaves from lorry today! I am soooooo excited! I put them all down in the 3 oz. cups and went to wal-mart and bought a plant stand for them to sit on in front of my french doors. they will get enough light there. Lorry is sooooooo generous! I hope i do everything just right with them! Will they do okay not covered or is that a necessity?
Lorry- wow was i surprised at how many you sent! now i gotta look them all up. the royal wasp you sent had a small leaf attached at the back is that a baby or just a new leaf growing? i hope these do great for me! i love love love the mini leaves you sent!!!!!!! i can not thank you enough!!!!!!!!

My oldest 2 got off the bus yesterday and were surprised to see all those cups with names on them. They had fun reading the names and counting all the cups and leaves lol.

Oh Kelly that's very nice !
I already have half the list done Lorry so I'll finish it no sense doubling the work. A few I did not have I told Kelly to get from you :))
(laugh) Some of them I may not have either..if they are not in FC. But I will give it my best shot :)
Thanks Allison :)
thanks allison for all your work in researching these for me! you are so nice!
Kelly
Good Golly Miss Molly (I mean Miss Lorry) - y'all wont hear from me for a few days as I put down all the leaves Lorry sent! Holy Moly!
What a Christmas present! Lorry sent a HUGE box of leaves (some coveted ones too! WOO HOO!) and babies!
All of them are super varieties too!
What a generous group we have here. Now I think my boxes I sent will pale in comparison Lorry, I'm going to need to ship a few more boxes just to try and equal what you sent!
{{{HUGE HUG}}} {{{BIG SQUEEZE}}}
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
This place is not about equaling anything silly girl..It is about sharing with each other (our friends)! I am just glad you liked them and glad I hit some coveted varieties :)
Hugs and smooches back at ya
Lorry
Lorry I got all Kelly's info to her except for a few not in FC. Thought you might have info from where you bought them ?
I told Kelly she was a Lucky Duck sure hit the Jack Pot ! She got a good $ 50.00 to $100.00 woth of leaves. Lots very rare and expensive.
Your so kind Lorry :)) You must have a zillion plants ! And then to send Laurie also ! WOW. Takes a lot of time to cut and label and package all those leaves. Lorry your the greatest ! Then you sent me a Zillion leaves :)) Super Giver award goes to Miss Lorry :))
Ditto that!! I'm still putting the leaves down! not to mention the dozen or so plants she sent! All cutie pies and Fisherman's Paradise! WOW!

Oh my goodness it is truly Christmas each day on DG 's African Violets and Gesneriads forum !
To day I got a second real nice box from Anna " Spider" She is so kind and giving. LAst box had lot's named different big Strep leaves. This one had the cutest blooming plant of ; Optimara Little Blackfoot (7488) 02/09/1991 (Holtkamp) Single purple-red. Dark green, pointed, hairy, serrated/purple-red back. Semiminiature
And some leaves of some other Little Indian Optimara leaves. And a beautiful kind Thank You card to us me for sending her boxes of beautiful plants, and Hubby for packing the boxes and shipping them. Thanks so much Anna . Your kind and giving too !
And I box a box from Bluebirds green house. I got two more Russian Av's and they sent a free Russian but I already have it but that's ok. I also got a plant named Ann . Love it's variety and at shows it was alway like 24 plus inches across rows and rows of perfect variegated leaves. Flowers galore. As soon as it grows and blooms I want to give it to Mom. She always liked it at the show too !
I also got a trailer .
I also got a lovely box from Spider :) I can't thank you enough for the lovely creek girl :) and the lovely leaves. :)
I hope you like your package half as much as I did the one you sent me
