I know that these pics are blurry....lost my new memory card and batteries are low...
They don't all belong under the av forum, but here they are ......I am soooo excited to have these......(forgot to take a picture of the very best chimera baby)
****this is my very first Kohleria and I hope not the last
It is past time to start new cuttings from these original ones....variegated wandering jew and variegated Bolivan jew
She sent one long stem about 10" long and I was lucky enough to get 6 cuttings going....look at this baby begonia trying to bloom....this will probably be my very favorite begonia i ever find.....
I do believe that these are the best cuttings in the world that she sent....this is a tiny variegated dwarf ruellia
Is this awesome or what???? variegated columnea.....if anything is variegated I am dying for it!!!!
I ordered this one, Begonia foliosa.....need to make more of her!!!
Streptocarpella and Persian Shield....I have not been able to find persian shield this year here.....it is usually everywhere in 4" pots but not here....
This begonia 'Cathedral' and one more begonia are the only begonias I got to be excited about out of a large order.
This is the only one I get real excited about....she is said to get 20" tall, but I like her small.....check out those tiny blooms....
SHOW OVER....gotta get back to work!!!
Her name is 'Ginny'

Gail those are all beauties!
I love that lil tiny variegated dwarf ruellia!
Nannanavaro was growing one similar last year with her AV's..it was really pretty.
Don't ya just love that bolivian jew???
I love seeing what everyone is growing it really motivates me!
Thanks for sharing the pics.
MsC
Those are all so pretty, Gail! I love the Kohleria! Those are something I've never tried, but I'm sure they're in my near future, one way or another. And that Columnea 'Light Prince' is right at the top of my want list. Somebody here said they could send me some cuttings. I'll have to go see who that was and give them my best "puppy dog eyes" look. LOL Please post more pictures as they grow!
Very nice Gail! I really like that variegated columnea.
I like the first two begonias! Very pretty!
Ok ladies......give me some propagating time......
Gail: Looks like you hit the jackpot! Beautiful as always! I never knew there was a dwarf Ruelli! I've been thinking of ordering a Kohleria ... never grown one before. Are they easy? Seems like I'm getting more and more hooked on Chirita's since they do so well for me! Can't seem to find many different ones though!
Have fun propagating all those wonderful plants! I know you will, cause I know you are in your element there!
Lin, I am loving chiritas too...............when they do bloom they are wonderful......I just saw some good ones on Rob's violet barn...I have the plants but growing leaves is not coming real easy for me.....
I just ordered a couple more from Rob's!
I just saw the Lyndon Lyons website.....they are an awesome place to shop.....When I was checking my plants about an hour ago, I saw buds on two different chiritas...one for the first time....it just has a label that says Chirita senensis????
