Do any of you recognize the 'logo' on this tag?
I've recently bought 3 nice AV's at WM, and all have similar tags, but no vendor's name on the tag.
Whose tag?
Gosh I don't know, Lucky you !
Here's the plant that came with the tag....I'd told you, Violet_T that I'd post a photo of it...please forgive me for my crappy photography skills and camera!
Can you see the buds?!
Beautiful plant and photo taking too !
Gosh are you lucky. What were they charging for theses named beauties ?
It's a Harmony Greenhouse tag (Sorento Florida) as in Harmony's Little Stinker (Chimera Foliage)
They sell all over but it's wholesale accounts only. (boo hoo) Several ebay sellers buy from them, one is PJ's Violets and another is Aurikab
I only know this because they also sell amazing begonias. I was able to speak with one of the growers/hybridizers while in FL at the begonia convention.
p.s. they don't have a website =(
Oh WOW Laurie, Nan is lucky to get them !
indeed she is! Get more! LOL.
Oh my gosh yes ! could you imagine finding a Little Stinker at Wal-Mart !
New Year's Eve - - Dark wine glittery edging, surrounding pink, double stars, gaily sit atop dark green foliage. Variegated in white and cream with occasional pink tones...you can see pic at..lyndon lyons thread where he has only leaves for sale...so you have a goodie!!...If that's an "h" on the tag...could it possibly be Holtkamp growing them......they are Optimara as you know.

Wish I'd have had more bucks!!
New Year's Eve (Lyon) Double pink star/dark wine sparkle edge. Variegated dark green, white and cream, variable pink. Standard
Hey Bob how are you ! Nice to see you :))
New Year's Eve is by Lyon
Why would Optimara make them. And Laurie is a guru
she knows all about Harmony Greenhouse :))
You got those for 2.00 Na Super WOW you are lucky :))
Hi Allison...just popping in with my weekend "allowance" here...he he...hugs to you all
Allison...just saw the "h"...and I know that Walmart gets most of theres in Fl from them here...and "farms"..them out to other growers like Costa....etc..
Nice to see you Bob :))
Darn I wish I would find something that pretty at WM. I look every time I get there.
I know nan was lucky !
Begonia, do you mean PJ does not grow his own?!?! I thought he did.:o(
On Ebay ? Yes they buy them. Their's another Florida seller that buys then the same place . I can't spell her name begins with A Laurie told me all about this.
It's my understanding that Aurikab has bought from Harmony in the past (perhaps not directly but maybe through their distributors?)
and as far as I can tell, PJ's also does. The few that I have from them have the Harmony tags in them.
I think Aurika is now both growing from leaf and buying from someone (or some source)
either way, they both have nice quality plants and a great variety too!
BOB SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK IN THE FORUM! HOPE YOU HANG OUT (not trying to YELL, but happy to see you back!)
What a great find Nan! you lucked out! be sure to put some leaves down for insurance.
Hi laurie and all..thanks...trying to limit myself...he he...so much to do...you guys are so much fun..it is very easy to spend too much time...but the jungle is callings...hugs to you all...bob
Thanks for the info, everyone....and thanks for the compliments!
They had these at different times.... (Got 'New Year's Eve the first time and 2 others the second time) so maybe they'll have more in the near future.
They were/are really nice healthy plants in 4" pots and ready to be potted up.
My jungle is calling too..... (!)
I usually don't get online on weekends but decided to 'pop in' for a minute!
Nice to see you Nan and Bob visiting us :))
