Thanks Don. It is one of my favorites. It took awhile to blooms. I love the pink on the leaves.
WOW!!! Those look fantastic!! Thanks for sharing! ; )
Beautiful as always Nanna. Thanks for sharing your pictures.I enjoyed them.
I like them all!
Wonderful ! alsobia and especia they look awesome :))
Now your Golden Autumn has a lot of yellow !
One of my Annabelle's one from Eunice is all in new blooms and blueberry buds :)) I love her ! She grows in natural light in our home and does real well !
The alsobia and especia are growing very well. I took them from the kitchen window and put them under some light. They seem to like it. One has many buds. I am hoping for some blooms soon. Grey Lady hasn't budded at all as yet but she sure is growing.
ENABLER! The lot of you are ENABLERS! Now I'm really itching!
Beautiful pictures....beautiful plants.

love that scrumptious & your streps are beautiful.

Hi Nan,
Love your photos...Scrumptious is indeed a beauty! Are those Streps and Begonias miniatures by chance? They look so good too!
I sure hope my one leaf of Annabelle makes it...gorgeous!!!
How long have you had your Alsobia? It looks really great! Has it flowered yet?
TFS!!!
Joanne
Joanne I have more Annabelle leaves and leaf cups if it does not. I fount they take a long time for babies. I don't care how long they take as long as I get healthy babies !
Hi Allison,
Oh that is wonderful....my surviving leaf has been down since June 19th so another month or so probably before I see any little ears popping up. That one is so pretty! Well they all are but I have that one and I really do like it.
Allison you are just so kind and good to all of us!
Joanne
Nanna,
ALL of those Av's & streps look just beautiful!
Fisherman's Paradise is just outstanding.
I hope I have as much luck with my streps..lol
MsC
Oh! MsC. Strep are the best. They don't need near the care as avs do. They can even take a little direct sunlight. You don't have to check the temperature of the water when you give them a drink. They are very forgiving. They like to dry out a little. I divided a big clump and got four plants and all four bloomed within weeks. I have another hugh clump that I might divide soon.
Hey Joanne. I think Allison sent the stolens to me about 2 months ago. Is that right, Allison
Nanna,
I love the idea that streps are "easier" than AV's..lol
I killed the first one quickly! That was a few years ago..back in my over watering days..lol
These guys have really one shelf space with me. I love the flowers & anything that can wilt & come back to life with blooms like that has just got to be great.
I think your Av's are doing fabulous! I really enjoed the show too!!
MsC
Thanks for sharing these fabulous photos! 'Rob's Scrumptious' definitely deserves the name, and your photo of 'Fisherman's Paridise' made me go give my leaf/plantlet a good talking to -- "grow!!"
I will have to check with you to see if you have a spare leaf or plantlet of 'Rob's Mad Cat' or a spare sucker of 'Rob's Humpty Doo'. I have a couple of cute little "Humpty Who?" noids that I grew from a leaf of 'RHD'.... Do you have 'Rob's Sticky Wicket'? If not, I have a nice multi-crowned one for you! :-)
Your strep photos are also making me wonder if I can't free up a little more space somewhere... they are so gorgeous! I especially love the white and purple one. Maybe you should bring up that "huge clump that you might divide soon" next week when we get together to pot up plantlets! ;-)
That would be great. I think there are several (at least 5) crowns in the big one. I will have to check to see what leaves I have down. I have filled all my trays and have no more room right now.
My stickey wicket has gone to heaven. I would love one. I really miss the one I had. But I am learning that when one "bites the dust" there are at least 1000 more that are just as pretty to take its place. That sound very uncaring. Who said that!!!
