Bonnie, your sinningias are simply AMAZING!
I LOVE your pictures :)
GREAT Growing :)
HOPEFULLY I will have something I can tempt you with this spring *fingers crossed*
Pier, I can't wait until Saturday! PLEASE drive carefully my friend. Hopefully we just get rain. Take it slow luv.
Everyone have a GREAT day!
Hopefully I will be able to post a funny picture today after work.

New Here
Love the Sinningias!!! I notice you seem to have yours wicked...I didn't have good luck with that although I wick many others, wonder what I did wrong? I currently have mine domed (mostly minis, though) so they don't dry too much, but don't know what to do for my larger ones. I have S. 'Mother's Day' and S. 'Seminole' and don't know what to do with them, although 'Mother's Day' has 2 buds. I suspect they need repotting.
Bonnie,
I want to share with you a plant I grew from seed called sinningia piresiana which is a species and the blooms from the gesneriad society reference page looks exactly like yours. Mine have not bloomed yet.
Hi Pier - welcome! I love the pictures of your plants, along with everyone else's. It's just great to have another enthusiast join in.

I sure hope I can find some things you would like :)
I have lots of leaves down right now and I'm THINKING I'm STARTING to have my growing errors a little more under control *lol*
(Well, until Pier comes over *winks*
WOW, what a learning experience this has been for me.
Since October I have learned so much thanks to all my friends here :)
I don't know what I'd do without you all ........ what a close knit family :)
Pier, I'm SO happy you joined us :)
Breaks out in song:
We are family, I got all my sisters and me............

Kimber

This was the picture that I wanted to put in my Message to you
Dimmer(AKA) Kim
Wow! Look at all those leaves! You are going to have lots and lots of babies from those! Keep us posted when the start sprouting!
Great job of planting too ... I am in awe of you all who are so organized and have your little plantlets all in a row, so neat and tidy! I could take some lessons!
Kim, those look PERFECT!
In about a month you will have roots and in a few weeks after that, little "ears". You will LOVE watching them grow :)
SO cute!
Great job~~~
Kim
I have checked them the other day and some have roots already I just can't wait for the babies to come than what will I do Maybe start a plant store LOL I will have no more room And I will have to sleep outside. I will have to Thank Susan51 for them Thanks Sue Miss You
Kim
Oh, it's always so exciting when you see those little "ears" popping up above the soil! Yep, it doesn't take long to run out of space when you start propagating plants! You can always hang them from the ceiling! LOL.
There's a limit to how many you can hang on the ceiling... eventually, you reach that limit, too.
Oh, wait. I don't have to hang them only in front of windows, do I?
;-)
Dimmer, how exciting for both you and Susan. I had no idea Susan was into streps. Congratulations to the both of you!!
You are organized I will say! I can never find the name of anything I have so now I am trying to memorize what the foliage looks like...pathetic I am!
Mornin' Ladies(and gents?)
I am really enjoying this forum, you guys crack me up. Dimmer(Kim) your strep leaves look great! I love it when they first put up babies...the mouse ears are so cute. Keep us posted.
Pier
Hi all,
I am not "into streps" I bought them out of a whim and was waiting on Kim to come visit so we could play and play we did... Mine now have no names as my dear cat Fred knocked mine over...LOL I do have a chirita blooming that Gail sent me a leaf from... I will try for pictures later as I am baby sitting a sick dog of my sons... So far she has craped out one ballerian slipper one 10inch nickle size rag and then this morning the other slipper... I am hoping this is it.... if not off to doc for surgery... She is feeling better today but I have her now so I can watch her and pack her full of rice and chicken and maylocks.... Always something her going on.... I think my banking has been solved... I should get my money back so I wait and see....
I have to go clean the kitchen as it needs it...
Hugs,
Susan
