Thanks Rox.Uh Oh...All he said was he wanted a Goldfish Plant.I had no idea there were more than one type.(head spinning) I am sure he would be happy with anything called a Goldfish Plant.The kids will be taught how to properly handle and care for the plants they bring and chart their individual progress..It is such a great way to introduce kids to the world of plants don't you think! : ) Nancy

Checked the trades lists:
NematanthusNut and GrowHappy both list that they have the plant for trade. You might want to Dmail them directly.

Nancy, I have one of these growing in a 6" pot outside. I was not planning to bring it for the winter so I haven't payed much attention to it the last couple of weeks. I'm sure it's not in perfect condition. It's been cold and raining for the past few days. I'll check out the condition of tomorrow. If you want it you may have it...Kathy

Nancy did you get one ?
There are many different Nematanthus. Shoot I just saw this and could have slipped some in your box today. Now I see its closed duh you must have got one ! PS it's a Gesneraid and many people in the African violet/Gesneraid forum grow them !
