And Speaking of Chimeras
Are they a new vendor, or just new to our sticky? I see their website was created just last August, and there's no entry in Garden Watchdog for them yet. Has anybody ordered from them?
Very Cool Photos on their website!!
just new to our sticky (and me)
I also think I need (or can't live without)
Kara's Birthday Surprise - $10.00 (P. Sorano) Single chimera medium lavender-pink sticktite star/lavender stripe, blue fantasy. Medium green, wavy. Standard
Since my daughter is named Kara.
Oh My Gosh!!!! Simply gorgeous.
Wow, that Yukako is a cool one. Strange, though, that they went to all the work on the website, and I only saw one plant available. (has to have a yes by it?)
Seems like they are only selling like 2 of the varieties. Perhaps they will have more come spring
Incredible site though :)
They have been selling on Ebay a long while just Chimeras. Maybe like they said they use to throw extras away but now sell them. Maybe they will have more in the future. I guess I had it in my favorites already as when I wnet to put it there it said so. It's a nice sight though Laurie Thanks ! I would not mind having Yukako.JPG Yukako . What's nice if you can get some Chimeras and progate and share :))
I check my V. parasol for suckers every day! I can't wait until it starts. Maybe when I bonked it on it's head and lost those leaves it will urge it to sucker.
Well, if anyone is interested in a plant, sign up for the email alert. I would love to see that Yukako in person. : )
Ok - I just spent time going over that entire website!!! Wonderful!!
Yes it is. And did you know all Chimeras are Sports !
Most of if not all of Ma's are registered Sports on the Sport list.
Rob's too.
I know many people don't register their Sports.
Like this beautiful plant maybe beacause it's not registered yet. It takes a long time and work to get a plant registered.
Nancy's Plum Freckles (N. Schoepflin) Single chimera lavender wasp/dark purple stripe, fantasy. Medium green, longifolia, quilted, hairy. Semiminiature
I remember on another group How everyone was so excited when this first bloom of this plant was posted and would it keep blooming Chimera :))
It's a Sport of ~
Fay's Paisley (F. Wagman) Single blue wasp/red fantasy. Plain. Semiminiature
>>>>>>.
So you never know when you can have a wonderful Sport ! I think it's exciting and fun :))
I was just reading this thread and decided to google Yukako and look what I found. It sold on ebay for $330.77. Wow. Can you imagine paying that much for a plant and then it die? Here is the URL: http://cgi.ebay.com/Japanese-Chimera-African-Violet-YUKAKO-very-rare_W0QQitemZ7755303879QQcmdZViewItem
