I have taken a lot of pics lately but I can never remember how I titled them.........let me look a minute.......
****This is to show you what I am trying to plant and can't............look at the size of these packets full of wonderful seed.........some were supposed to go to Kim and some to Jan.........they sent me some......they will have to settle for plants now! Hard on old 'shaky hands' and bad eyes (LOL)
I am not cheating with old pictures since I can't find new ones........whatever I come to, I am posting
Suomi episcia in bloom
OMG Gail..That is alot of seeds! I can imagnine that would take you some time to get them all planted.Jeepers!!
????????? but pretty
Kim, remember us talking about the USBerg something........chirita? She died on me
I wished I hadn't let go of her. She is a Russian one.........can find her name later..........got her at Bluebird and was one of the prettiest avs I have ever had.
oo that chirita has fuzzy leaves!! I really like that one : )
She was a wonderful chirita.......I think maybe Lyndon Lyons Greenhouses have her.............Nancy
I wish I still had South Shore Rose......she came from Bluebird, too
I think these were my very first order and I don't have this one left either..........got to have the Ever floris series again..............
I think this is Frozen in Time, one of my first and best ones........ (not sure of the name)
ooo the 2nd to last one posted..Evergrace right?? Love It!! I have that one I got in a trade with Rain and it grew so fast and now blooms non stop : )
edited to add.I will have to check out Lyons for that chirita gail..if and when I see if the ones I already have will bloom for me 1st....

I bought this one again at our show because I loved her so much.......Newtown Shared Venture and her blooms are really blue...........
OK.........nancy...........I want that blue Optimara Evergrace (you said I think)..........we have to trade some leaves with each other...............I want her badly!
I will dmail you tomorrow..............I have some great leaves right now .............do you like to grow av leaves???? 9 months from sticking one to full bloom.............
I no longer have this little beauty...............someone else post any pretty bloom they have from this past season..............but I have to go watch basketball right now..........(LOL)
Great time to swap leaves gail..this time of year and into summer I get babies soo much faster,I like that : )
Ok here are 2 I have blooming right now..1st
Rebels Night Breezes
2nd Rebels Rhubarb Frost
Oh my gosh...............you have some beauties, nancy............I will even throw in some small plants I have grown from leaves, too if you will just let me have some leaves........I just need one of each plant...........
Those are to die for plants..............didn't know you had really gotten into some great growing, Nancy...........outstanding growing!
I don't have blooms right now as I had to keep pinching (debudding everything) for the Mother's day sale until 10 days ago...........I am anxious for them to all bloom at once............
sometimes I could kick myself for getting rid of all these wonderful minis of Optimara I found at a local store.. I was told that if they didn't have a name, get rid of them. Don't ever do what I did!
'Bob Serbin'. She got sold at the show in February.
I can't remember her name! bummer
Aly's Tiger
Oh gail you are really much too kind..lol..I can't grow nearly as well as alot of you thats for sure but I sure do love trying..I think I 'm giving up everything else and concentrate on mainly on av's like I used to..well..can't quit streps either..lol..another big passion now.One thing for sure I have found when I am trying too many different gessies at once..seems they all suffer.All of them need so many different growing conditions and it makes my head spin trying to remember what keeps what happy.Mind don't focus as well anymore..lol
I would Love to trade some leaves with you anytime!!
Beautiful Gail! You will have to make sure and post a pic of when all of those for your Mothers Day Sale all bloom at once.That would be quite a treat!
Bristol's Very Berry just blooms and blooms........my favorite of all
I will dmail you tomorrow.......got some nice things growing right now that I would love to share. I am just playing 'cause i can't go to sleep (LOL)
Love that Aly's Tiger! Very interesting coloration.. ANd you know of course I love the Very Berry, beautiful!
Gail, again.........HOW BEAUTIFUL!
I LOVE that USBG Chirita! That is one that sends off stolons alot. I hope it is one that is coming to live with me soon :)
Your streps are simply amazing. The leaves are just HUGE! It totally baffles me!
Outstanding my friend!
Nancy, beautiful violets!! I can't wait to get my first violet bloom. Right now I'm just starting to get my first babies.
I have a couple small plantlets from Pier and I'm hoping that I can make them happy :) I have never tried AV's before so it's a whole new ball park for me :)
Kim
Very nice pics Ladies! I love to see them. Gail, the one you thought was Frozen in Time, isn't...I don't know what it is and it is beautiful, but FIT is variegated. Here is my FIT, not the best picture but you get the idea....the blooms have much more of a green edge if it is grown cool.

Ok I took this picture the other day and it wasn't open the next picture I took was just now but it is dark because the snow is falling so this is one of the plants that are blooming
Dimmer(AKA) Kim
This is the same plant but the lite was bad as you can see in the back ground the snow is comming Happy Spring
Kim
I know this isn't a AV But its my first Sping flower that I started after Christmas in the house
What do ya think Pier? Here is another picture of what I thought was Frozen in time.............the variegation is on the outer part of the leaf?
I am thinking maybe that first picture is of a small one started from leaf??????????? but maybe not, too

You are ever so right and I am glad you pointed out that it was the wrong plant. it made me think.........I do believe that may be Heatland's Lime Sherbet in the first picture.............
Oh Kim your streps are so pretty. That's the first light pink one I've seen that looks like pink.
Cindy
Dimmer, your hyacinth is so nice...............
There are a lot of streps that are light pink, Cindy..........
First flowering for sinningia Ozark Pink Popcorn
Beautiful pictures ladies!

Hi jan! Been thinking about you. I love your Pink Popcorn!!!
I will be glad when sinningia 1503 opens up and sinningia cardinalis has two sets of blooms...........you gave me both of them!
Also will be happy when the african violets start blooming. i don't know if I like this debudding or not! (LOL)
Hi there Gail, I have been puttering around outside all day.The weather is beautiful!
Doesyour Sinn 1503 have buds,that grew so fast Your going to love her! My cardinalis is sitting there with buds too.They are sure taking there time opening up.
Mine has buds but not as big as yours.......let me get the camera for you. See her little buds under the two center leaves?
Can you see my frustration with this wonderful seed I have. Most of this one was stuck to the tape. i spent over 3 hours this after and just planted 8 packets............oh my gosh...........so tedius........I don't think the actual fold where the seed is even 1/4" wide.
