I won!!!
I am happy for you.
Congrats!! Is this your first ebay win for a/v's? I'de love details, how much, from who, and do you have a pic of it?

Just looked it up and it is really a pretty chimeras.
No I have won many items on Ebay, just amazed that I won this one- Rob sells his for 20.00 plus S&H; this one I won for 10.50- S&H is 8.00 so I saved a few bucks and got one that's just expensive enough that not everybody has it!!! Wooo Hooo!
Seller is Rainbow Violets- I think I've gotten some things from her before. She says she will have a couple more available soon so if any of you are interested you might want to keep an eye on her.
This is however my 1st chimera! So that's kind of exciting.
Would have really been thrilled to get Lucky Duck or Lucky Charm.
How exciting! I'm thrilled for you and can't wait to see pictures when you get it.

Oh I am sure that I will take photos and share like a proud new mama!
Congratulations -- what fun!!
Thanks Jill!
Great, April! Let us know how you like your new foliage chimera. A 'lucky charm' for you!
I am excited- I had no expectation of winning! I will for sure share all experiences and hopefully will figure out how to make it sucker so I can share.
I'm glad you can be persuaded to post a picture when you get it, April!
It is one that I fancy from the description, but would like to see what the leaves really look like.

Edited to add: Other than Violet Barn's sad sample, does anyone know where to see a picture?

I know what you mean about Violet Barn's photo being sad! and that is the only photo I have been able to find of Lucky Charm. If anyone knows of another I'd like to see it myself.
Will be glad to post a photo. I will be out of town for a few weeks so it may be a little while before I post the photo. Hope that leaving the unpacking and watering to my kids isn't a mistake! Though someone did give me a good idea, reward for no dead plants!

ebay rubbed my nose in the fact I lost bids for the two plants I wanted, 'bout 5 different emails so excuse for for the sour grapes but.....
"Phhhffftttt!"~~~~~$;>P
Just kidding. Congrats on winning.

Oh I know I get those when I don't win as well. This was just a fluke.
My very 1st ever bid on Ebay, many years ago, I was so happy, auction was ending and I had clearly won, then w/ a minute to go someone came along and outbid me! I was PO'd!
I sort of felt bad about yesterday's win but I put my bid in about 2 hours before the auction ended so the other bidder could certainly have outbid me.
Robs Lucky Charm is a Beauty April.You done good Girl!! A few months back I got Lucky on Ebay and won Ness Dream Maker Chimera.She has decided to grace me with her first blooms this weekend.I really want more Chimeras now for sure : )
Nancy
Nancy, me too especially after I saw that Japanese one, Yukada (or whatever).
Ness' Dream Maker is gorgeous, you didn't do too badly yourself!
I will be looking for some and hopefully will have a sucker or 2 to offer up in trade!
April
Can we see it, Nancy?
JamesCo, It would be my pleasure.Hope my pic turns out ok.I am a little excited because this is my 1st Chimera .It only has 2 blossoms so far but more buds are forming : )
Nancy
Thanks.
What kind of pot is it in?
It is still in the starter pot it came in.It is just a little clear plastic cup thats about 1 inch deep and 2 inches wide.Then I just set that in a small clear glass container with colored gems.I will post another pic.Its not the best pic but you can see the small pot pretty well.I want to move it to a bigger pot but didn't want to do that until its finished blooming. So sorry April for hijacking your thread!! : )
Nancy
Thanks Nancy.
Er, back to you, April!
Nancy & Kenton, No need to send it back my way. I like a thread that takes on a life of it's own. So much more interesting.
I just found this picture tucked away in an old file. I don't know where in the internet it came from.
Rob's Lucky Charm
