It's not a cutting, it is that plant with the fabulous foliage I posted. He sent a plant and a rooted cutting all growing together. It's this one - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=3973141 I won't take cuttings of it til it's settled in here and grown a little bit. No peduncles on it, but hopefully it won't take long to get some blooms. :o)
My Pink Silver does not have that much white but that does not mean anything.........we will have to compare blooms..............
OK.................all my AV friends...................my granddaughter who is 10 has more babies on her streps than I do.............this has only been 5 weeks since we stuck these leaves...........her mom even said that in the beginning..........she said, "Mom, these leaves are supposed to stay straight and deep, nana said........so I am making new trenches for them".................amazing to me!!!!!!!! and she only has one light and tiny at that for each shelf..........
Looks like you granddaughter is a natural Gail.That is totally amazing to me in only 5 weeks?? LOL I have some I have had down for nearly 2 months and nadda...still waiting!
mine is in straight vermiculite and this looks like we changed to 1/2 perlite and 1/2 vermiculite.............gotta go.........i have two men for the day working outside,..........
First try for a 10 year old. Uuuuh...not bad I'd say. So now we know it's so easy a child can do it. LOL!!!
Thought I would bring my question over here to one of your threads Gail, since the question is for you....
You posted some photos of your (always lovely) streps that are blooming, on the Sept Bingo Page 4 thread yesterday afternoon. Like Lin, 'Spiritual Corridor' always gets me! Can't wait til my new plant of it blooms one day. My question is, from that photo... does that plant have seed pods on it? I'm just curious, as I am trying to identify what seed pods look like on the different gessies. I am waiting to see if any of my attemepts to pollinate my episcias 'Kee-wee' and 'Choc. Velour' are successful.
Here's the photo in question...

Thanks, Karen
Yes, but they aren't good ones................let me go take a picture of some i am determined to get in time.................last time, all the seeds fell out before I knew it was time to take the pods off..................
I didn't show this one yesterday..........check the big pods on her..........can't wait to get it right and collect them in time..........
Iced Pink Flamingo has quit blooming but check out those pods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, Gail! That red one is really beautiful too!!!
I am embarrassed to tell you that I lost her tag...............or she was a hybrid seedling........one of the two............but she is even prettier than Christmas morning.........I will always grow her...........in fact I need to start some leaves soon............her leaves are giant!!!!!!!!!!!
