AV Shimmer Frost
Houdini's magic really does look the same.
Maybe someone sent me the wrong plant? I bought it on ebay but I can't remember the seller.
I don't know Beth. I got my leaves from you and it looks exactly as it is described, green edges, white with lavendar, etc.
No, I mean when I bought it on ebay.
Houdini's Magic (9687) 09/26/2006 (T. Brekel) Double white ruffled star/variable blue fantasy. Medium green, plain, quilted. Standard
I wish First Class had had a picture........going to find one now.........
The AVSA page doesn't even have a Houdini Magic on its' list. They have Houdini but not with the magic. Do you think it might be a sport? (of Houdini)
It was sold to me as Shimmer Frost, so could it be a sport of Shimmer Frost? I have started a lot of little plants from leaves and it will be interesting if any of the babies have blooms that look like the parent plant.
i got all confused........let me look up Shimmer Frost on my First Class
Shimmer Frost (7595) 11/07/1991 (S. Sorano) Semidouble white frilled star/faint lavender-blue and green markings at edge. Medium green, plain, wavy. Standard
Does this look like your bloom, maureen?
Beth, mine look like the white bloom in the 4th pic posted. It has more white than lavendar on it. However, mine are showing double and I see your pic is not.
I wish I got those camera discs. It's a sony mavica camera and you use mini cd's for it. I have to get them at a camera store which I'm not near very often.
I think the amount of white vs purple was variable on all my blooms. Let me know how the subsequent blooms look. I started a lot of young plants from leaves, but they are not ready to bloom yet.
