These are all plants I started from leaf. They're so pretty, I just wanted to share.
This first one is Rebel's Splatter Kake.

Blooming babies!
This next one is Hyla's Little Lira (Lyra??)
Here's Aly's Key Lime Pie.
And Rob's Dust Storm.
I have a few more getting ready to bloom, but the buds aren't open yet. I'll add those when they start opening.
Hope you don't mind me sharing.

Stephanie,Your plants are so pretty! Great growing.

Stephanie stunning ! Hyla's Little Lira is one of my favorite minis yours is adorable so pretty !
Thanks for sharing them !
Your plants are fabulous, and it's very special when you have grown them from babies. Great job.
Thanks, everyone! It's absolutely amazing to think that only a few short months ago, these beauties were only little tiny ears poking up out of the soil. And now, look at them! I have a bunch more getting ready to bloom, and can't wait to see them.
Thanks again,
Stephanie
Wow!!!! More???? Do you have em wicked on top of that grid with water in a tray together? That's got to make for easier watering. Did ya do that for the leaves too?
Very pretty AVs!! Rob's Dust Storm is tooooooo cute. And no, we don't mind the pics, we love the pics!!!!
Debbie

Allison
Allison,
The two behind Hyla's Little Lira are (from left to right): Frozen in Time and Snuggles Little Dreamer. The Frozen in Time is one of the ones getting ready to bloom!
Stephanie
Debbie,
Yes, the plants are now all wicked and together on top of the grid. I started wicking a few months ago when I began separating and potting up babies in individual pots. I now have about 300 plants/plantlets (I'm still doing inventory to find out exactly how many!), and wicking now makes it a LOT easier to water everyone. The plants in these pictures were raised from leaves potted in 2 inch pots or 3 oz. cups, and then placed in regular seed-starter strays with domes. This was also before I set up my plants stand with shop lights.
I still have a few leaves down, but only the ones I put down more recently are wicked.
Stephanie
Very Pretty !
Thanks, Allison.
I'll post more pics as the others start blooming. I'm especially excited about seeing Frozen in Time.
Stephanie
Frozen in Time is an awesome plant to grow it was one of my first ones ! I gave it and my first Irish Flirt in bloom to an 93 yera old Irish friend . The whole time she had them they bloomed. When she died Mom had them for long time before sister came and over watered them.
In those days I never put downs leaves just gave them away blooming.
I never expected to be here long enough to grow a blooming plant by life.
Stephanie,
You've certainly got some beauties! Will be looking forward to seeing the rest of them.
