I know some people have difficulties growing Russian varieties. We have a good forum here: http://www.senpolia.ru/forum/index.html This is a Russian forum, but if somebody has a question concerning Russian varieties, he/she is welcome to ask it in English - I'll be here to translate, or someone will answer in English.

I gave laurie a Yan Selena in 4 inch pot. I think I gave you this one too Lorry,
Russian Av's progate easy and grow nice !
Perhaps hat is the one you gave me then :) I am still happy since these are alll fabulous and a great price.
Would you like me to send you leaves of the other?
I probaly gave you this one too" Barkhatnaia Fantaziia
(Velvet fantasy: as I had so many I ended up growing all of them as they progate so easy.
I can send you leaves of mine too but proably be awhile at the rate I'm moving . lol
My faovorite still is my Special one Sporting :)) I do think I fount 3 or 4 baby suckers down and a leaf or two that came off when I was taking the suckers off.
This last bug that opened had 6 stripes instead of five from last bloom and more are getting ready to open.
Can't wait to see Laurie's from the same leaf. I got one leaf for the $4.75 and got two babies .
Oh hun..you just focus on getting better :)
and would love leaves though hold off..I may buy more of the specials if she will let me opt out on the ones I already have :)
This is the one I have is Sporting ! " Ek-Snezhnyi Bars (Elena Korshunova)

I like them their like Old Fashion Av's easy progate and easy grow. I'm sure some may be Vintage as one of the Hybrididerz died and he had been hybridizing many years.
It's nice they put the prices down last year I paid more and same ones on Ebay go so high.
Allison, are you not feeling good? I am sorry. Feel better soon. : )
Begonia, can you speak russian?
No, pero yo hablo Espanol! Y puedo hablo mucho Espanol tambien!
Es necessario quando viviendo en California!
(transated as- No, but I speak Spanis. And I can speak a lot of Spanish also!
It's necessary when living in California)
I don't have the faintest idea how to speak Russian. I can count from one to ten in Sinhalese (from when I lived in Sri Lanka 20 years ago)
And I took 2 years of French and can speak it but not nearly as fluently as I speak Spanish.
Nope, no Russian here. LOL. Do you speak Russian Spider, er uh what I mean is do you 'bark' Russian? and does your Mom Anna speak Russian.
es necessario en todo el mundo you creo que si!!
Oh how wonderful !
I'll tell you the Russian plants grow like the good old Av's . Progate with ease grow nicely flowers abundance . I'm pretty sure a lot of them are Vintage.
I am enjoying them and with them progating so easy I have been able to share them with a lot of Dg's Friends :))
Begonia, no russian here mas eu falo portugues.

Bob, tiene razon! La lengua de Portugues es mas boniata, Si? Y si! es necessario para todo!
Y hoy, yo puedo practicar my Espanol, por que tengo dos personas que trabajar para me. Vamos poner aqua a mi officina! Y aqua caliente tambien!!!
Woo Hoo! (yo crea que necessito decir 'Arriba Arriba')
