A couple of days ago I was lucky enough to go to Bluebird's Greenhouse and get some new pretties. I am really excited with all of the things that I got. I got Episcias, Streps, and African Violets. I will start with the Streps. The first one is a new one called Episcia Tiger in a hanging basket.
Jesse
The next one is Episcia Metallica, also in a hanging basket.
Jesse
The next one is called Episica Topaz. It is not blooming right now but I got it as a special bonus.
Jesse
Next we have a few Streptocarpus. The first one is Streptocarpus Texas Hot Chili. I think this on is really awesome.
Jesse
The next one is called Streptocarpus Guidelines.
Jesse
Very beautiful. Great to be able to go in person. and pick out what you want.
This one is Streptocarpus Blueberry Butterfly.
Jesse
Streptocarpus Bristol's Pajama Party.
Jesse
I was told that this is a new one called Streptocarpus Niobe. The flower has wilted because I sat it too close to the heater when I brought it home. But it is a real beauty.
Jesse
Next are the African Violets. They are all Semiminiatures except for two. This first one is a standard called Lemon Whip. I really like the color of this one.
Jesse
Next we have a large named Buckeye Can Can.

Here is another view of Buckeye Can Can.

All the rest that I bought are Semiminiatures. The first one is a cute little wasp. I really like this one a lot.

Jesse

Your plant is awesome ! May I asked what the charge for it ?
I'm going to start a few more for our porch and one in ground in shade/morning sun garden.
She deserves her name Queen of the Night :))
Wow, what a haul, Jesse. I bet that was a lot of fun. Hope they do well for you. Pam
Wow Jesse, what a shopping trip!!! Plants all look great!! It's a good thing I don't have someone like that near me. LOL
Debbie
Oh wow, lucky you. How long of a drive is it to bluebird? I love them all, but the streps are gorgeous. I've been admiring nymph - I notice it every time I'm perusing their website. Thanks for all the pics.
Beautiful! Wish I was closer to B'Birds Greenhouse!
Jesse,
Thanks for sharing your finds. Very pretty. Good job.
Laura
WOW, you brought home some beauties!! I'll bet it was tough to pick & choose.... Glad you had such a fabulous shopping trip! Wheeeeeee!
It was tough to pick and choose because they have a lot more at the greenhouse than they advertise on their website. That is why it is so fun to go there. Plus they have 4 inch pots cheaper than anyone else online. I bought a 100 when I was there because I have so many babies to repot. I really do love going to Bluebird's.
Jesse
Such beautiful plants. What a fun trip for you.
I really did have a good time. But now I have 100 4" pots that I have to take babies away from their mommy's and put them all in new pots. I am not really looking forward to that but I know it has to be done. But I will get it done eventually.
Jesse
wow, what a haul, got some real beauties there.Good for you, we all need to do that every now & then, wish i had a greenhouse like that close to me, or maybe not.lol
mrsbonnie
Jesse, are you planning on selling on ebay and becoming a millionaire? There are buyers out there as we all well know.
Have fun transplanting.
How far are they from Kings Mountain, NC? I have a sister-in-law there.
Laura
I really don't know what I'm going to do with all of them. I haven't thought that far ahead yet.
