Thanks Sweet Eunice ! I will love it :))
Eunice, thanks so much!!! That would be great. I'll be glad to send you postage, or mabe something I have you want. I got leaves of Neon Fantasy I'm getting ready to ship out. Violet Gallery sent me a very leggy plant that Allison and I decided would be best for leaves, and a crown rooting, so I'll have plenty of leaves!
Janis
Beautiful ! Neon Fantasy (9178) 02/03/2003 (Lyndon Lyon Greenhouses/Sorano) Semidouble-double dark purple frilled pansy/hot pink fantasy. Variegated dark green, cream and rose, plain/red back. Standard
Another view from FC
I meant to say I'd pay for the plant too, of course!! Those pictures are great Allison, I can't wait to get my FC :)
Janis
Neon Fantasy is pretty ! I have Fantasy's to send you also Janis. I have many pretties just takes me forever to pack but one box at a time :)) They will all get out. Cause Yikes I have hundreds of babies right behind them wanting their own pots from Mom . What am I to do. lol
So if you like my box, after I'm caught up between now and Fall before the snow you can have more :))
First Class is wonderful ! I use mine each day !
Yup what everyone else said..it is a cryptanthus :) and very pretty :)
Allison..I believe it is the variety I sent you a pup of. ..they often lose some of the brighter color when they get overwatered..which walmart is famous for :)
I bought 3 of them, 2 light 1 dark and planted them together for my grandson & I to watch...slow growing, but the darker one is getting ready to send up a flower...also noticed the other day that my color is not so bright; I'd read that they require bright light to stay bright but guess I will have to rethink where they are sitting.
They are so pretty.
Light does effect the color a lot :) A window should be suffice but not too much light (no direct sun) they will burn.
I love mine ! Eunice Starfly shipped me one above today ! I will have tomorrow ! And I got one from my Bunny Lorry today ! Thanks Lorry ! Love everything and had no idea it was going to be you !
Beautiful....hubby has good taste!
Yes and I am lucky she does not like it and it's on it's way to me :))
(GASP!)
She doesn't like it?! LOL!!
Lucky you, Allison! Enjoy!
Yes I can't wait. Eunice hubby shipped it a fast way UPS one day ! Yipee I will have it tomorrow :))
(laugh) you like Cryptanthus also Nan :)...I will start begging my crypts to shoot off more pups
So glad you liked the package Allison :) I was hoping you would :)
lol!! Lorry...does that work (begging the plants to pup/offset?!)
If it does, I'm gonna have to start doing that!!
(You sent me two sweet li'l pups last time.....they're doing well so far...crossin' my fingers!!)
OH I don't know but I talk to them all the time! LOL
I think Eunice liked the plant her wonderful Hubby brought home for her ! She just knew I like it and wanted to send it too me :)) Her hubby was so sweet also shipping it even one day delivery UPS ! So I will get it today :)) I can't wait ! I should get a box from Jill too ! I am the luckest African Violets and Gesneriads exoctic plant lover in the World !
Thanks everyone :))
I have it got it yesterday ! It's larger and even more beautiful in oerson ! I am so pleased with my new plant ! Thanks every so much Eunice and your Hubby !
Thanks for the zillions of leaves too !
