Wow Allison B-Man's Etna is beautiful!!! And so is the sport of Irish Paradise! Wow. Guess I will be putting B-Man's Etna on my wish list! Gosh it is getting longer and longer!

You never got a B-Man's Etna from me ? How about B-man's Cosimo ? They both bloom none stop Fantasy for me ! I know I sent a lot of them out :))

No not Etna, but yes I did get B-Man's Cosimo.
My Russian Snow Leopard, from you, has the most amazingly lovely leaves, so big, green and shiney- even w/o Neem oil. Each time I look at it I smile, it is really a beautiful plant- yes of course I wish it would bloom, but I can be patient so long as it is thriving. Thanks, :-))

Wow those leaves are huge! Didn't know Chiritas were that large.

(only Allison's chiritas look like that! Mine doesn't, but she has the green thumb, arm, leg etc.

Those are really beautiful. I want a chirita diane and a chirita tamiana (something like that). There was one at the flower show, but this really sweet little older lady grabbed it (darn). I just admired it and told her to enjoy it. : ) She just loved all the plants so much; she was about 80, I would guess. She was havin a great time. : )

Oh WOW I did not think you got Snow Leopard ? You must of got a sucker baby. I have one and gave Laurie one. I grew them from one leaf but was thinking I got two must of had another little baby. I got ton's of Yan Selena. . Now I have lot's of Snow Leopard. But sense mine is Sporting I want to let it grow out and see what each generation gives. How large is your plant ? Laurie's is pretty large with Suckers and buds. And mine just started blooming this month !
