October blooms 4
Susan - I thnk you have a lot to look forward too . . . all these blooms coming back! I especially like the yellow one - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5701709. When you get a chance, will you let me know what it is?
Gorgeous!!

Alissa is the name of the yellow one... She is getting darker as she send out new blooms... I am not 100% but I think I have a cutting down.. Will look tomorrow... to lazy tonight...
Hugs,
Susan
Susan, your blooms are fabulous but I hope, for your sake, that you have everything debudded and are treating for thrips by now....................
I just received an email from bigoldbuck. He has put in 90 hours this weekend and still putting in heavy hours. He wants anyone he has promised to trade with to know that in a couple of weeks........maybe even three, he will be on vacation and can honor his trades.
I must be chatty tonight but I need to tell you all something. I ordered streps on ebay from our own DGer Vmee. Every single strep I got from her had a double plant in each solo cup and they were well grown. She sells them at a very reasonable price and I wanted you to know that if you put in streptocarpus in the search line, you will eventually find her as Vmeenee. Her plants are so well grown and getting two crowns is almost unheard of.
Glad you bought nice plants on DG. A few weeks ago I bought three variegated Turk's Cap plants. They are SO pretty! I love Turk's Caps. I have a big area with reds and another with pink flowers.
HI everyone-- just wanted to let everyone know that there is a great glove co-op going on over on the co-op forum..
(I bought the nitrile the last co-op and they are awesome !) these are the best light duty gardening gloves I have used-- I haven't tried the others yet--but the prices are good!

Morning!
Gail I wish you could talk Vmee to come sell some streps on the marketplace.The size is perfect.I don't do well with little plants.
Aww Susan Alissa is a real yellow.Ok I'm drooling already and it's to early in the morning for that.LOL.Anyone going Lemon Frills strep? That's another one that makes me drool.^_^
That strep leave with no babies but has flowers is unbelievable.I've never seen that.
These are just a couple of streps blooming..............nothing to write home about.
First is Guidelines
My very first Bristol's Paw Print bloom from a leaf that Brenda sent............
I love that color red, Gail!
Wow,I like the color on paw print.
isn't that a pretty dark red, Jannich? I have never had her.
I haven't posted much this week . . . not that these will make up for that, but here we go . . .
Ramblin' Lassie is finally starting to bloom for the first time after I put her in this ice cream dish . . .
I broke down and got a Kei-yoki plant on ebay a few weeks ago . . . this is the first bloom. I think it is a bit pale, 'cause I thought I wicked it when I repotted, but didn't, so it was sitting dry, etc. It looks better already.
Suomi is still compact, but blooming alot.
Love the violets and especially the Suomi--can't wait til mine blooms--of course it is just a stolon now--but someday!!
My goodness, I can take some growing lessons from you!! My suomi isn't blooming!
Off Topic ... I started a new thread for the Birthday wishes, But in case you are "lurking" ... Dimmer/Kim: Happy, Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Thanks for telling us Lin..........I will find it and wish her a big one!
I simply love ordering from Gary Out of Africa............he and LL are my two favorite vendors...........besides, of course, Thad Scaggs who is just nice enough to sell Dgers Kohleria rhizomes!
Today was busy as I stuck strep leaves all morning and then waited to open my new episcias from Gary............here they all are on the stand..........
Ooh, Gail . . . what is the red one in the lower left on the 1st tray, and the bigger red one in the lower left on the 2nd tray?
Gorgeous, gorgeous!! don't keep us in suspense-- which ones did you get?
What keep happening to my posts.............they just disappear when I hit send.........
The red on the left tray on the left is Plum Country and the one on the left side of the second tray is Strawberry Patch...............
I would type the names if I had kept the invoice so I could just type them............I am toooooooooo tired today but will make a list tomorrow for you all........
this is rita's pearl passion, i just bought from gary this past weekend. i will see him again this weekend.

That is so pretty but I do better with the darker ones although my Pink Smoke stolons from Goldleaf are really taking off and growing well. Let me get a picture of them, Bonnie.
Maybe in the next picture you will be able to see the dark emerald green foliage starting to form.
I think the whole world must know Gary.........whenever I mention his name, someone (like Kivit) says, "I know him"................very likable man.
Hmm. Maybe I should meet Gary . . . or at least, get into his website in more detail . . .
He is just a really good vendor, Nichole at very reasonable prices compared to a lot of other vendors. He also has an awesome selection and choices of plants.
Wonderful epescia's!!!! What is the website? I don't have room for any more epescia, they have gotten big and I don't trim them a lot, so pretty nice and big. I would like to see his site though.
http://www.garys-out-of-africa.com/catalog.htm
He has more than episcias, and ships nice plants!!
Sally, the day I got mine from LYndon Lyon, they were large plants and so I whopped the tops off immediately and almost have totally new plants while the bottom of the plant is filling out again.
It is amazing how quickly episcias root..................(not overnight but about 3 or 4 weeks and they are a solid new plant)
Thanks for the link. I think I have seen that site. He needs more photos!
Pretty episcias ladies.
He aboslutely hates a computer, Sally................we have even sent him pictures, but he doesn't want to be bothered to learn............some people are just like that........
Has any one ever buy from Neil's streps on ebay???
Susan
No , because he is too expensive and his streps are just OK.........some are great but most are just another strep.
Susan, jannich and everyone else. I need some help on the thread of new leaves. I want to only choose 10 leaves to strip the mid vein out of and root . (which means I get at least 30 plants). Please help me decide which ones are the best because I will be need to either share, give away and/or sell some..........thanks so much
