I love this. There are two crowns (at least) in this plant. One side doesn't bloom true and the other crown does.............they are pretty blooms mixed together......
Hi All,
I have been Awol for awhile but I am bacccccccccck.....LOL My plants are looking good and I wanted to know if I have to spray them again a 3rd time for the thrips??? Also how long do I keep taking off the buds?
I am so excited to say that more then likely I am going to the AV show in VA.... This will be a first for me... I am hiding my credit cards...LOLOL Do allot of people sell at these shows? Can't wait...
I have not read up on the treads so If I missed something please tell me and if we have new people WELCOME..
Hugs,
Susan

Susan

Gail,
They are all so beautiful,it's hard to pick a favorite!! Their foliage is so clean and shiny.
Lynn
Beautiful pictures, Gail. I think my little strep is a gonner. I haven't given up yet. I re-potted into mostly perlite with a little av mix. Keeping her on the dry side. Time will tell. Poor little thing. :(
keep her cool and bagged
JIM
Lovely pictures Gail.What the last ones name? Did you try hybridizing yet? You have some great blooms to try it.
Anyone know the answers to Susans question above??
Ill bet thats space dust,
JIM
That last one is space dust!!! Jim is right...........two plants.........one blooms true....the other doesn't and together they are beautiful............YES, SUSAN, WITHOUT A DOUBT, YOU SPRAY THE THIRD TIME FOR THRIPS...........
thanks everyone.............I wish they would all start blooming...........they are being lazy now..............
You will have to remind me, PlantMomo, about Country Plum if she will ever get any stolons!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I planted some and don't remember.........
Sally, have faith about the election. We are never in control , but God is and that is comforting. I try to totally trust God with my life and those I love.

Thanks Gail, will do again next Sat... Do I still cut all little buds trying to come up? I am also going to put Marathon in all plants again as it has been awhile since I did that... I am going to mark it this time on the calender... I miss all my flowers and I feel like I am a baby crying on here. :-(
Susan
Just be happy you got to them in time.............I am sorry but you cannot do anything BUT debud. Look at this way..........before shows people debud their avs and streps for many months (well not streps but 3 months on streps) so they will bloom with fire!!!!!!!! That is what yours will do and you will be so excited to have that many blooms at once!
Marathon lasts a lot longer than AdmirePro.......Admire Pro lasts only 6 weeks and is a drench. I don't know what I am talking about but I think Marathon lasts at least 3 months or so..............
maybe someone else knows.........I only do it whenever I change the size of the pots.
I sprayed last night AVid as a preventative........................it is not biggie........they just bloom better...........

We don't always understand God's will and we are not supposed to............just trust him and know that He will never leave you. We might need to be dmailing as politics and religion are off limits on DG, Sally. Neither of us wants to get kicked off.
I don't want to shock you but their are supporters of both sides to this election..........
aww space dust,I should have know that one.It's a beauty.
How cool it is Susan,your going to the convention.Lilypad is going too.Maybe you all could meet up there.Like in the sales room at a certain time.^_^
I just got an email from RainGazer. JP, her husband, tore up his knee and had to have surgery two weeks ago. Now he has a blood clot in his leg..........she is asking for prayers.
I don't have any new blooms . . . Fancy Pants is still looking good, though. I thought I would show the progress my strep leaves I posted the other day are making.
Sending good karma to JP--my thoughts and prayers are with you. ^_^
wow!
my thoughts are with Amy's hubby.Hope he gets well soon.
Congrats on the survival of that beauty in the first photo.
OK...I have NO MORE ROOM for plants...but I love the fantasy streps and I love purple....so I might have to make room for that one in the future!
Thanks for sharing your photos...I have nothing blooming at the moment...but gave my mom Strep. 'Blue Mars' yesterday for her birthday that has several buds!
Where is the action, ladies! WE need photos.............(just teasing but I hate the winter months when we don't have as many blooms to share)
Ok, here is what I have for today!
Bon-bon
Rob's Cherry Soda
Saddle Shoes
Rob's Neat Nellie . . . just without the pink, I guess . . .
cool, Syrumani!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet AV's Syrumani!!!! blooms are still sparse around my house--all I have so far today is Streptocarpella "concord grape"
Here is a picture of the 'rescue' AV from HD earlier this year. This is the first time it has bloomed since I debudded and repotted, in an effort to make it look better back in June, I think?
I had SO hoped it was Crimson Ice http://www.avsa.org/Photographs/CrimsonIceLrg.jpg#http://../Photographs/CrimsonIceLrg.jpg#, but it's looking more like O. Millennia - which IS sold at HD's . . . http://www.optimara.com/optimarafieldguide/varietiesm-z/millennia.html
