I am so very fortunate as to have just done a trade with Gail, and she packed the boxes with so many wonderful things! Just had to share pictures of my bounty! :o) Thank you, Gail!
I'll try to list names, but my memory fails me rather frequently, and laziness prevents me from going to check labels. ;o)
AV 'Ness' Coral Summit'
AV 'Music Box Dancer'
Begonia partita (Is that not gorgeous??)
These are:
AV 'Funambule' I had this one and killed it but have wanted it again ever since!
AV 'Merlot' A gorgeous Senk wasp!
AV 'Shoshone' Complete with buds and not one single leaf broken or out of place!
Kohleria 'Dragon's Blood' I forgot and put it in the container before I took the picture. It's got gorgeous colored foliage. I hope you can see that...
I filled this 10 gallon aquarium/terrarium with lots of things.
Whirlpool Begonia, Begonia 'Baby Dress' and several other Begonias I can't remember the names of (that's a Begonia leaf in the bottom left corner, not Angel Tears Trail - forgot to mark out the name), Alsobia cygnet cuttings, more Begonia partita, Sinn. 'Gabriel's Horn', Aeschynanthus something-I-can't-recall, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something else in there.
A closeup of the Whirlpool Begonia. Just beautiful!
And OMG at the Strep leaves! LOL There are so many and the leaves were in perfect condition, so I was able to get several cuttings from each leaf. They all have names, but there's no way I can remember them all. Let's see... Dark Shadow, Bristol's Surprise Party, Aly's Tiger, her beautiful seedling with the white throat, Grape Jelly, Heartbreaker. So many more, but my mind has gone blank. LOL
And lest you wonder about the size of the Streps that Gail posts pictures of, check out the size of this Strep leaf. That is a GALLON size ziploc bag!
My pictures are all jumbled up in a folder and I know I'm missing something, but once I go through them, I'll find more pictures and post them. I'm just tickled pink over all of this!! :o)
Wow! What a Trade!! Looks like you hit the Plant Lottery! LOL.

WOW, Congratulations ladies! Absolutely STUNNING!
Gail, you are SUCH a fantastic grower with such a HUGE heart!
What a PERFECT combination!
Can't wait to see bloom pictures ladies :)

I have both of their trades all mixed together................
Here are 9 of jannich's sinningias!
Here is Sinningia cardinalis from jannich and RainGazer sent me the same one in a cutting......too good to be true....
Amy sent me 3 of these little guys..........they still need to go in a container but they are so happy under a dome for now
Jannich sent me 4 kinds of wasp leaves which are very exciting and Rain sent some crowns of mini trailers to grow out..........and av leaves, too
Everything is mixed together......look at these......begonias, columneas, lipstick, etc..............
She is in her own wine glass...................don't ask me names.......I never know until they bloom and then start guessing. They were all carefully marked, mind you!
Too many plants to name............lots of different plants..............from both jannich and Amy
More leaves put down...............thank you both Amy and Jan!
gail
WOW Gail! What BEAUTIFUL trades!
Amy & Jannich, your plants look Awesome! You 2 really are great growers too! Amazing, this family is SO full of green thumbs :)
You should all be so proud of yourselves :)
SO cute!
Kim
Wow! Gail, those are all awesome looking babies! Your house must be packed full of plants ... before long you will need to put furniture in storage because you won't have room for it! LOL. If you didn't live out in the country and were closer to town you could have a home business and hang a sign outside "Gail's Glorious Gessie's". You are the Ultimate Grower and I know all those babies are going to thrive under your care!
I LOVE that name Lin!!!
Sounds perfect to me....Gail, there's you a great business idea! When you're famous please remember us little people!LOL Don't see why people wouldn't drive out to plant shop...I know I would!
Can't believe I missed this thread..LOL..My you all have been doing some *Major* trading..Such great growers you all are...everything looks wonderful : ))
Hey now theres an idea gail....people would come from near and far to buy your beauties I am sure!!
i wanted to do this and hang a shingle down on the highway but my funny brother put a stop to that! It is a major highway and he assured me I didn't have the people skills to run a business (can't imagine why he would say that, can you?)
He told me that if someone knocked on the door and I was 'playing plants', I would probably tell them to come back another time.........couldn't they see I was busy (LOL)
OMG Gail, THAT is too funny!
Gotta love brothers.......but it's funny......they know us so well don't they?
I can just imagine that and am chuckling big time.
"I'll be right with you as soon as I pot up these 100 babies" *lol*
