She has lots of pretty flowers now, more opening and many buds ! Yippee :))
She was easy to progate, grow, shiney leaves nice big long lasting flowers and been fun to share :))
Share your favorite plant ! Varieties !
Allison, I am just in awe of that plant :))
Janis
Wow, Allison!!!!
that is the most beautiful AV I have seen!!!
Allison you have such a knack for growing these!!
Janis
She is beautiful Allison. Can't wait for my russian leaf to get here. I don't have any of my favorites yet, if I do they aren't blooming :((
Janis
I will send you some Russian baby plants !
WOO HOO! You are too sweet :)
Janis
My favorite of yours, Allison, is Silver Wings. It is breath taking. Do you know if it is sold by any of the vendors?
Allsion that is pretty!!! You do have a knack and all your plants look beautiful, that is why I asked a while back if you ever entered them into any show. You'd be a shoe in!
Picking favorites is so hard and so unfare to those not picked, don't you think. If we pick our favorites those not picked will feel like the kids picked last for baseball at school, LOL.
My favorites keep changing. 1st as you know I was willing to sell my mother for Pow Wow! and I loved the reds because they were so new to me. Now I am in love w/ some of the blues and of course the yellows. I originally wasn't too excited about the whites but have seen so many now that are gorgeous. I am falling in love w/ that white trailing AV that you have recently submitted pics of...can't recall the name.
It's just luck April ! I buy a leaf put it in 3 oz. cup maybe 5 pz. if thats what Hubby bought me and it grows into a plant. Amazes me each time!
I mean Special easy to grow picturea to share so we can see different varieites !
Nanna Didn't I give you a Silver Wing Plant ? No I can send leaves or plant. I think I got a leaf from Secret trade like my Vintage Plain and Fancy I love so !
Plain and Fancy (2756) 11/13/1975 (E. Champion) Double pink ruffled star. Variegated, plain, quilted. Large
Nanna, Allison gave me Silver Wings. I'll check to see if I have extras. I think those are the leaves that did so well for me.
I can send you a plantlet this weekend, if you have not found one. Let me know. Pam : )
Your so kind Pam ! I have a couple babies and leaves down too. Hubby dumped it right after making me new shelf where she is living and broke some leaves ! I out them down. April she;s blooming again. Dump your plants. lol

Pam your babies grew fast ! Great growing ! Your a good sharing peep !
2Z that noid is beautiful
Thanks, Allison. : ) You are a good peep, too. : )
Thanks, nanna!
Allison, I can't remember if I sent you a leaf from that one or not, if I did, it would have been labelled "cream (or white)w/dark purple edge"
I love the way each flower has a slightly different marking to it.
Did you get your box yet ? I told hubby to tell mail lady to ship Airmail fast. If you don't have it sure hope it comes today. If it does not make it I will send more !
hi allison. i keep looking for my box every day. am i getting high on your list? i sure hope so. i understand that you are very busy,. well maby soon i hope. my plants are doing ok i guess. nothing like yours. having trouble with some . the center leaves are not doing well. for some reason. cant figure it out. well thats enough for now .talk to you later. wild bob.
Hi Bob I'm working on it :)) That's why I tell everyone when you send shipping money there can be 6-10 boxes before you ! There free healthy good size plants all in new soil, wicked new pots...healthy grown by leaf most rare and expensive to get other places.
But I also have trades comitted to back from last Nov, 2005 that have to be sent out that went out last to.
I still have at least three people before you. I do wrap plants in bed when I can. Last week and weekend was bad for me and I could not even turn computor on most of the time pain and dry heaves were bad and I had ice on head and just prayed. So nothing got packaged. So packaging time is also determinded on my health which from mintue to mintue I do not know what I can do.
With God I have been able to ship at least 600 good size healthy expensive FREE plants " THESE are not orders ~ ( I waited for an order from Violet Gallery ordered Jan 4th. 2006 until end of April and 1/3 were too small I got a refund ) I lost track of how many hundreds of free leaves I have sent out. I am doing this to find good homes for plants I've grown by leaf I just don't have the health to care for them the room and I enjoy sharing them. I will keep sending boxes to kind caring Peeps who will give them good homes and don't mind waitng on terrific boxes like they will get no where else. ! If you have ever grown beautiful healthy blooming plants by leaf then you know the time and care put into growing them ! I have been Blessed to be able to have the joy to grow these. I am also fussy about buying the best leaves to do so which means people are getting in their boxes FREE plants of Vintage, Rare beauty they may never be able to buy else where.
Plus my caring PEEPS here have sent me hundreds of leaves ! I buy some still lol and put them down from all my plants to have the joy of growing babies and sharing as long as I can. I won't be buying anymore new ones . I might put some down from plants I have , most likely if their ones people really enjoy so I have them to share ! Other than trades, swaps I will not be adding just trying to give them to good homes and just keeping some of my favorites.
I am a slow packer can take me 4-5 hours to do one person's biox. This is just wrapping the plants .
I have everyone's names that will be getting boxes , and as soon as I can their turns will come up and everyone can tell you their well worth the wait.
Nut I can also let you know these plants are Special and Precious, and FREE their not orders and not forsed on anyone only given to caring PEEPS.
So if anyone at anytime does not want to wait for the box all you have to do is Dmail me and let me know shipping money will be refunded to you. I don't make a penny but have lot's of money in them. They are gifts threw God from my heart :))
I wish I knew what my favorite was! (laugh) that seems to change from minute to minute and then hour to hour :)
Your plant is gorgeous though! I can say that for certain!
Thanks Lorry ! I have many favorites too ! I was just hoping peeps would post plants they enjoy and why they enjoy growing certain ones so we could all see new and different varieties !
