Three Little Maids

These are my three "girl" avs all blooming at the same time.

Cambridge Missey
Meg
Noid from Optimara

Awwwww Nana, they are adorable!!

Which one is the purple?

That's Cambridge Missey

So Pretty Nanna Thanks for sharing !

Really pretty, Nanna. I like the purple one, too. : )

Oh Nanna those are so pretty! Don't they just brighten your day?!

Veru very pretty :)

Oh my, you're a Girl after my own heart!

I'm on a quest to collect as many girlies as I can...

One think I have discovered with these three, the prefer the end of the shelf. Don't like as much light as other plants.

good to know. Is Meg the same as 'Rebel's Meg' ? If so, I have Rebel's Meg and Rebel's Amy

Yeah girls like end of light tube or natural light :))
I like the girlies too :))

Meg is Optimara's Meg. This is the fullest she has bloomed usually her blooms were small. She's the one on the right. Slight two tone pink. The smaller petals are slightly darker.

I like the leaves on Cambridge Missey. When they are under to much light they really get curly and become almost impossible to pass blooms through. This time at the end of the shelf you can see how many blooms she has produced. The is plenty of room for the other blooms that are forming in the center.

Thanks Allison for confirming my thoughts about less light for the girls. It's good to know that I"m not just guessing.

Oh your welcome Nanna but I've read it in many books can't take all the credit though if I have any plant having a light problem I move ot to the end or natural light . Most times it takes just a few days to fix the problem , or if it is the type that needs low light all the time it's kept there.
I have fount with baby plants some I grew , some bought maybe the way they got smooched in the pots together they may have some long leaves and smooched small center leaves. Low light always helps me with these until they grow out.

They're all beautiful! I love the pink one in front!

I think you can ship. Are you going to use insulation like you did with the leaves? The leaves were perfect and the weather was much colder then.

Le's give it a try. I am so excited I can hardly wait!!!!!

Okey dokey I am packaging Lauri box today, ( I tried to do her's last week and I was too sick got none done:(( ) Then I will work on your's tomorrow.
And if God allows will try for Diane's box too . Just depends how it goes !

You're packing me a box? Or Lorry? I can wait on what you are sending me to get others out first. I'm in no hurry.
what were you sending? the episcia? russian? (I forgot a cutting of your Epi in the front porch)

I'm sending your Playful Wolves (OH MY GOODNESS LOOK AT THE BLOOMS!) there are two open today.
Leaves of the russians you don't already have and any other babies, do you want Royal Viking?

Is royal viking worth having? Someone is my AV group gave me a little plant.

Sorry Laurie it's for the Lauri who sent me money for shipping long time ago. " lauriwilson "
But I am going to send you Laurie :)) and Lorry special boxes but I don't know if they will be this week.
Sorry, Maybe I'll try :))
Anna all African violet plants are worth having :)) I could not find royal viking in First Class.

oh, sorry, we have too many Laurie's (Lorrys, Lauri's) you all should just call me by my nickname Lali, then we can eliminate one out of the group of confusion.

I didn't think you were sending me a box that's why I was confused! LOL!
but I do have a box coming to you, shooting for monday or tues.

Lali :))
I do have a lot of plants I'm sending you. Like little mini's for your pot one which is Ramblin' Midget ! And I have Midget Lilian growing good for you ! ANd few Epsicas and Alsobia Cygnet. And more . Just your box will go out the follow week :))
Ok you shall be Lali :))
Lorry and Lauri are so different we won't get them mixed up.

Violet, Lali Begonia, Lorry and Makshi,

I am thinking of delaying sending you the plants until next week as the weather here got really cold and frosty. What do you all think? If you tell me it will be OK I will send tomorrow.

Girls, I'll reply off forum via Dmail (sorry to hijack Nanna)
