We're coming from here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/772287/
So, Sinningia 'Ruffled Wood Nymph' just keeps blooming its little heart out, but as I was repotting it yesterday, I noticed something very interesting on one of the blooms. There's an extra petal or something coming out of the base of the blossom! How neat! :o)
Kohleria 'Gunsmoke' I LOVE the color of the leaves on this one!
Kohleria 'Nicole's Smile' This one is bent on taking over the world! LOL I have cut it back, but it gets bigger and bigger! :o) No blooms yet, though. They'll be beautiful when they do show up, though.
Going off topic here, but I figure if we had Hoyas on the last thread we can have Begonias on this one! :o)
Begonia 'Dancing Lady' I almost killed this one...twice, but she seems to be happy now!
A Begonia I grew from a leaf that Lali sent me. I love this one!!
Begonia convolvulaceae from Brenda. The leaves on this one are great! They're almost rubbery! Brenda, can I cut this back and root the cutting, or is that not a good idea? I'd love to have a pot full of it. :o)
Brazilian Fireworks This one was blooming as a cutting when Lali sent it to me. It has yet to stop blooming and has put up a new bract. I love it! (I say that about almost all of them, don't I?? Well, I do love them! LOL)
Another Brazilian Fireworks. This one is just now putting up a bud bract. See it in the middle up top? :o)
A bloom of a Strep from the first batch I ever grew from seed. Ki sent me the seeds, and this one was the first seedling to bloom. That was a while back of course, but I still love this one dearly and take a picture of it everytime it blooms! LOL
Sinningia 'Tinkerbells' is so full of blooms, she has fallen over.
My silly Streptocarpella has just now decided it's time to bloom.
I couldn't stand to wait.................love those flowers and such giant Kohlerias????????????
Of course, Tinker Bells wins all awards!!!!!!
That begonia Brenda sent you.........yes, of course you can take cuttings........she sent me the same one..........and yours is a lot bigger than mine and I am already taking cuttings....they root quickly................
My streptocarpella will not bloom so out in the sun she goes today.......................
The Brazilian Fireworks aren't Kohlerias. I don't know what they are, but I like them. LOL
'Tinkerbells' is one of my very favorite Sinningias. She just KEEPS blooming! LOL
Thanks for the info on the Begonia. I really like that one.
Ease your Streptocarpella out into the sun. Don't put it where it will get a full blast all at once, or I'm afraid you'll fry it. :o(
Ok.......................I will have to google Brazilian Fireworks................
Columnea 'Light Prince' and a Begonia that I cannot remember the species of, both from Snowrose. :o) You grow the most graceful and elegant plants, Snow!
I can't remember the Genus name. Let me go find it... Here it is in the PF. It's not called Brazilian Fireworks here, but it is in a lot of other places. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/55371/
Ramblin' Spots from Gail. No blooms yet, but it's still young. Just repotted a day or two ago. I sure hope I can keep it healthy! Love the variegation!
thanks for looking it up for me.............pretty plant.................I need to put my 'Light Prince' in a small basket..........been propagating it for many months now................to get enough for a basket................
I'm just getting started with it, but love it already! Can't wait to have a big full pot of it! I can already tell it's going to be a favorite!
Here are the other Columneas I got. 'Broget Stavanger', schiedeana, and kewensis. Putting out new growth already! :o)
Here's Trinket O' Pink, another AV that I like the variegation so much that I don't mind if it doesn't bloom. Wish it would, though. LOL
Persian Prince, who IS blooming!!! Yay!!!
Chirita 'Moonlight' promising to bloom... I like Chirita buds. LOL
everytime it got just big enough to take tiny cuttings...........i did...............let me see if i can take a picture of it now........
i can see that i can easily take cuttings one more time.........I think I got the cuttings too close to one another................
Petrocosmeas which I repotted and have been holding my breath to see if I killed them. Apparently I didn't! They look good! Top to bottom, they are HT-2, rosettifolia, and forrestii.
It looks wonderful, Gail!! Full, healthy, I don't see a thing wrong with it! :o)
And finally, a Strep I grew from Ki's seeds. It's huge, probably 20 inches across and it's headed to a new home tomorrow. I hope I can pack it so that it arrives with no broken leaves!
Here is my Begonia that is growing under the maple trees she loves it there every year..
Susan
I have to run out and do errands but I wanted to comment on how great it is to take a virtual tour of a sampling of all your lush, healthy, and beautiful plants, Raingazer. I can see they all get good humidity which they love. Compliments to you on your excellent growing skills.
What a pretty begonia, Susan51.
All gorgeous!! Raingazer luv your Sinningia 'Tinkerbells'! Gail what is the variegated one you posted?
:) Donna
Thank you.
Susan
My computer is still dealing me a fit ; (....so I hope it lets me stay online long enough to tell you all how wonderful your plants look! Once I start seeing all of everyones beauties...its .....grab the notepad and add even more plants to my wish list!..LOL..
Raingazer all of your things are just so beatuiful, such an incredible grower you are, all the rest of you too!! Glad Gail answered your question on that begonia, it is a very fast and easy rooter, you'll have a full basket in not time! And Nicole's Smile, I'm speechless!!
I have more comments and a couple of questions (always LOL) but only have a minute here as I have DH home with an viral inner ear thing that has brought on severe vertigo, not fun, especially for some one who is never ill!!!
Here is the strep with the most blooms at my house today, Bristol's Hot Rod...
~Brenda
Wow, Brenda! Look at the size of the blooms!! The color is so vivid!
:) Donna
Love that strep, Brenda.....................
The variegated pot is: Columnea 'Light Prince'
I can't find it in the plant files.............go to Rob's Violet Barn............or Lyndon Lyons ......they will have a picture of it in bloom
Thanks, Gail. That's another one on my wish list.
A few things I noticed today. Aeschynanthus longicaulis is about to do its annual thing.
kohleria silver feather is looking fairly good - no flowers yet though.
the unnamed Achimenes hybrid is blooming a bit more... still a shy bloomer.
And the Columnea Lava Flow which I cut back severely this year is putting out a few flowers....
