I made a trade and this plant was in a box for 6 or 7 days!! Amazing how well she did...........lost a lot of blooms but looks good!!!!!!!!!
I cut the bottom off by 1/2" and put her in an 8" bulb pan.
****I have another box that made it to Dallas twice and twice was sent to Wisconsin........hoping it arrives today.......it was received in Dallas on the 3rd of July the first time...........
Gail: That is so Pretty .... What is it?? Inquiring minds MUST know!
Awesome plant Gail. What is it?
Patti
Oooooh, I like that ...it's very pretty....
So why in the heck did they send it to Wisconsin???
MsC
As Vossner always says, "Did you have to trade your first born for this"?............it is Gloxinia 'Sylvatica'..............that guy I mentioned from Brazil has this seed.

Gail: Would love in on the seed purchasing if you have room for one more! I would love trying my hand at growing gessie's from seed.
Don't worry Lin................I am just waiting for my new computer which has my old hard drive.........as I can never remember my password to paypal (laughing out loud).........the password has to come to my old email and I don't have access to the old email right now................we will be getting lots of seeds that can be shared by all..........i think it just sounds fun............
