Rob's Cool Fruit in Bloom
Joanne,
That is gorgeous!!
Sharon
still think he's awesome..wouldn't those leaves be amazing with a bright red flower? Lee Anne
Soo Beautiful!!! One of my favorites, too. How old is the plant?
Thank you for all the ooo's and awwws...
Nan I got it April 28, 2006 and she transplanted it from a leaf into its home on February 1, 2006 so it isn't quite a year old yet.
I had heard that they can be stubborn to bloom.

It is just beautiful. Wish I had more luck with miniatures. I would surely try this one. I also love Rob's Scrumptious.
Hi Nan,
Well this one I have on the floor in my bedroom under lights until I get my third and final lightstand and with these new Floralight UltraGold lights...they do throw more heat so I hope I don't lose that variegation....I just love it.
I just got Rob's Scrumptious when I was in Calgary....two tiny little suckers...it is a fairly new one I believe.
Rob's Scrumptious (9466) 07/30/2005 (R. Robinson) Semidouble white star/dark pink patches. Crown variegated medium green and white, quilted. Semiminiature
Why don't you give them another go....maybe you will have better luck this time. I find though that I have to water every two days the mini's and semi-minis as I have them in a really lean mix.

I've never seen an a/v with those colored leaves. It's really beautiful. Thanks for sharing the pic with us.

More ooohs and aaahs from me, Joanne. I love highly variegated plants. I bet you like that one even when not in bloom.
Wow, what remarkable foliage -- and blooming also!!
Lee Anne, your comment reminded me of one of my favorites, 'Rob's Love Bite'...
Here's a photo of mine's first bloom (and only bloom so far; it's being stubborn):
WOW..awesome Critter..I knew it would be lovely with a red flower.... thank you
Very, very pretty.
Oh my, Joanne, Rob's Cool Fruit is exceptional. Congratualtions! Beautiful plant.

Beautiful.
Am so jealous, my Rob's Cool Fruit was doing well, then went down hill. I quickly put some leaves down and left the mom plant to sink or swim. Well mom re leaved herself and is starting to come around so if the leaves I put down root I will have some to share.
Good morning everyone!
Critter that is a pretty plant you have there...don't have that one yet...LOL!
Thank you for all your kind words.
I am glad that you got some babies happening April! I have a few that are going to be going down the same lane....but one is Scuba Diver so I just plucked the centre leaves off and will wait for suckers.
Joanne
