Jill's Royal Wasp picture taken yesterday ~
Oh Allison that is gorgeous. I have Royal Wasp leaf down and sent her 1st baby to my secret bunny. Now I am waiting for the 2nd baby to be my very own. That is a beautiful plant!!!
Thanks April ! I grew it by leaf was still with Mom when I promised her to Jill. Not long ago I posted her in a 2 inch pot full of bloom..Now she is in 2.50 inch pot maybe 3 inch forgot lol she has never stopped blooming and has grown in natural light from the time she left Mom.
Hope Jill enjoys her !
Just a great pretty enjoyable plant to grow !
Beautiful.
Then I cannot wait for my next set of babies.
Yes me too !These vintage wasp remind me of the Species. I have a history story about Date and his first wasp plant ! I wonder if he is still alive ? He is definitely the Father of Wasp Plants !
Beautiful eye candy!!
I'm so excited!!!
Thank you!
I hope you like everything !
Oh, you know I will!
I have so many new girl leaves down now! I hope I will have more fun plantlets to send you before the weather gets too cold... or you'll have to teach me how to ship with heat packs!
:-)
I sent you girlies too ! And some new girlies I sent leaves !
Yippeee!
I think girl leafed AVs have become a special focus of my collection... they are just so darn cute!
What is a wasp?
Jesse
Jill I love the firlie leaves too ! Sense to you I have a ot more ! They are such cuties :))
I think I am finally getting the hang of girl leaves. They like to have plently of room. The bottom row like to hand down so the other rows have the room and they don't like too many rows on one plant at the same time. They also like less light and do well at the ends of the plant stands.
Add girl leaves to a wasp bloom and you have the perfect formula for bring happiness.
There are Wasp with girl foliage Nanna ! Two off the top of my head..
Bad Girl (David Senk) Single blue/purple wasps heavily lobed girl foliage Semiminiature (User Database)
AND
Girl Wasp (David Senk) Single to Semi-double non-drooping wasp with dark green, deep lobed girl foliage, with red reverse.
Semiminiature (User Database)
And how about a Chimera with Wasp flower !
Lyon's Raspberries and Cream (9535) 12/17/2005 (Lyndon Lyon Greenhouses/P. Sorano) Single chimera fuchsia-pink frilled sticktite wasp/white stripe. Variegated dark green and ivory, wavy. Large
So is wasp a certain type of AV? I've never had one so I don't know what they are.
Jesse
Nanna fount another girl wasp ! I know there's more ..but not many.
Neverland Dreams (David Senk) Gorgeous single and semi-double purple wasp blooms set above semiminiature dark green, heavily scalloped/lobed, occasionally red-backed girl foliage
I think all the girl ones are from David Senk ??
jesse an African violet Wasp Plant the flower is a Wasp flower. more infor in sticky and other threads have to do a search.
I just got a leaf of Senk's 'Bad Girl' from Lali! I hadn't looked it up yet, didn't realize it was also wasp, how cool.... But it's already high on my "hope it roots!!" list since it has lovely variegation too!
that's super ! I have some girl leaf wasp from Lorry ! No roots yet. I've grown bad girl and girl wasp before and it took me a long time to root. But I have lots of different types that take longer.
Good Luck !
I looked up Lyon's Raspberries and Cream. That one is certainly on my wish list. Maybe next month I'll have to order it. (Hummmmm! I wonder what plants I will have to give away to make room for a new one)
Today ! I am wishing Jill will get her trade box from me ! :))
Jill is wishing it too! LOL
Well guess what the green del. conf. tag is still in the truck. I have to ask several times before Hubby brings it into the home. He keeps forgetting. lol
I'm bumming.... the box didn't make it today. Hopefully they are sitting somewhere nice & cool over the weekend! With your packing expertise, I am not concerned, but I will be anxiously awaiting Monday's mail!
Oh mannn sorry. Yes they will be fine ! Their not little and packaged well. The leaves were just cut early Thursday morning and half the plants packaged then also.
I shipped a box to Eunice in Florida and took 6-7 days and I shave shipped many out of the Country. I just today got to put down leaves I got from Eunice Tuesday and they were all fresh ! I can't tell you how many boxes I have shipped on Thursday made it on Saturday . :( Well now we have to wait till Monday !
It's sooooo hard to wait when I know they're nearly here! LOL I will get through the weekend somehow.....
Thanks for all the fun of anticipating this trade!!
OH my goodness the fun of the secret trades, and other trades and boxes of Joy being shared among all the great Peeps here has just been wonderful ! Incredible ! Just keep sharing the joy !
Jill I just checked and your box was delivered at 2:08 today ! Yeah Yippee !! Oh I pray all is well and you like everything.
Hugs, Allison
