Gail,
Buckeye Cranberry Sparkler, Picasso and Mermaid's Kiss are beautifully shaped, the variegation is perfect on each one, and the blooms are held up nicely. You may have a winner. I would be so excited for you if one of your plants won a ribbon.

Anything Blooming? Part III
Thanks, Susan..............I am not making any decisions............just taking plants over..........the president will decide if I should enter or just sell these and many others............the pics never look good under the lights..............I am too lazy to find natural light.................
Your AV's are beautiful Gail.
Ohhh Kim. Love that snow picture.You won't beleive it but I do miss the snow!
Amy,Love your kohleria.I have one blooming too but my leaves look really bad on it.
Chirita tamiana is a little cutie!

I didn;t write the name on this one.Drats! Now I have a noid kohleria.But it's pretty anyway/
Jannich, what beautiful babies you have!
I truly don't think I could EVER miss the snow. I HATE it so much! I can't tell you how LOOOOONG winter is here.
If it wasn't for the kids............well..........I'd be anywhere I could garden year round!
I feel like a mole from December until April/May at least :( That's 6 months out of 12 :(
I just LOVE the colors on those kohlerias! Amazing. They just say "kiss me"
Kim
Jan, I have a picture exactly the color of your Kohleria........will look later to see if I put a name on her???????
She looks great as do your other plants!
Here is what is blooming for me this week... It is my very first and my best AV... I love it... This came from Lin a while back but I can't believe it got it to bloom... I am thrilled with it.. The picture does not do it justice... The leaves have pinks in them just beautiful...
Hugs,
Susan
She is pretty, Susan and aren't you feeling pretty fancy pants about this plant!
I am a pink freak! LOVE that plant!
Isn't she pretty..........Sally, I grew from a leaf Silverglade Oyster and want the whole series of Silverglade but they are hard to find. Fay Wagman , I was told, might bring them to nationals.......I am a pink nut, too!
Here is a picture of her from First Class:
You are right Gail... I am so proud of that AV and I love it.... I am doing pretty good with the few I have... I can't wait until the chirita's get big enough to bloom....
Hugs,
Susan
So pretty. When the leaves are so pretty, it is a bonus!
If I weren't so lazy I would take pics of new streps blooming...........maybe tomorrow.....(LOL)
We want to see pics, Gail. I will come back and lurk again tomorrow. Can't wait. Love your streps. Lurker Lou
now you have me feeling badly..........will go take pics under the lights right now! (LOL)
some of these may be repeats.........don't remember........
Bristol's Zapped
Shenendoah Sugar Plum in the front
Fancy Pants
Midnight Flame in the back (red)
Bristol's Very Berry
Dark Shadow
bad pic of a wonderful strep 'Night Beacon'
can't remember her name but she is a lot prettier than this.....too much gro light on her for a pic
'Susie'
Crimson Blaze
You can't see in this picture that she has 21 blooms right now.........Salmon Sunset
I think Moon light is through blooming for awhile.
I think (seriously) that i fed this group of streps too much nitrogen......those leaves are much longer than a ruler..........next pic I will show you a close up of Sangria
Sangria blooms closer
Deep Dark Secret
Oh Gail, I think I'm going to get sick! You are just a totally AMAZING grower! UNBELIEVABLE!
What a BEAUTIFUL home you must have with all those beauties flowering!!! I'm SOOOO envious and LOVE to see your pictures. TRULY makes my day my friend!
I LOVE THEM ALL!!!...........Not as much as I luv you though *winks*
What a bunch of gorgeous blooms!! Amy that Tropical Nights is awesome.I am still waiting for my 1st Kohleria bloom! Of course you know I LOVE P.forrestii.Can't wait til mine blooms : )
Jannich,I love how dainty tamiana looks.So pretty : )
Kim,Your pic is so pretty of the snow..but I know what you mean about Bleh!! lol..I have had wayyy to long of a winter already.I couldn't imagine 6 months of it!
Susan,I adore that av.The leaves and bloom color are gorgeous!
Gail..Gail..Gail..How DO you do it?? You amaze me lady!Wow is about all I can say.You can bet if you put fancy pants and zapped on auction I will be there like a shot!
I am going to spend the next 6 months really devoting a lot of time to propagating streps. I have almost 100 new leaves down right now. These are leaves I don't have as plants at all. Plus I will start propagating all these you have seen and more.. I am a mad woman when it comes to growing.......nothing interferes with my growing.
Just for kicks I am going to go measure some leaves and I still can't figure out why they are so big.........the better to chop up in pieces to propagate even though they say that you get more babies with smaller leaves......i don't believe it.......especially if I strip the mid vein out of a portion of one.
Nancy,
Nice to see you... Where have you been young lady??? I am just glad you are around to talk with us... I missed ya...
Hugs,
Susan
Loved them all! I am in awe of you-Gail. What your house must look like with all those beautiful blooms!!! Lou
Actually, Lou, I need some more balance in my life so my friends say (LOL).............getting to be an eccentric old lady!
Here are a few closeup pics of blooms on avs.....i should be planting but this is more fun.
'Music Box Dancer'
Arctic Frost and i don't know why she doesn't have a blue edge????????? except that First Class shows many of the blooms are just white
'Icy Sunset'
