Ooh, I like that stand! I have a wrought iron baker's rack, used as a plant stand that I used to have lights wired to in the guest room. Took it apart last year sometime and now it's out in my Florida Room crammed with junk! I need to begin my de-cluttering and spring cleaning and bring it back inside!
January III Blooms
These pictures are great and so much fun to have! I love them.
I was giving Sally a hard time for her 'political leanings'...........nothing about what you all were saying. I love that guy (the comedian) who is now on CNN on Friday or Saturday night at 9:00 who makes fun of all the politicians.......both sides of the aisle. He is funny!
I didn't know that Falling Stars had a pink one........glad to know.
Happy happy birthday , JuneyBug
Oh, I love the looks of those things! I finally was able to get on to that Bloominjungle website! When I tried earlier it was just sitting there and not transmitting ... and we have high speed internet service! The panel's with the holes cut out to fit over the trays are a very ingenious idea. Looks like they would be great for wick watering. Do the pots/cups fit snugly down into the openings?
Gail, What an AWESOME collage photo! A Rainbow of Gessies, Love it!
I was looking for a bouquet of flowers and came across this collage when I was selling leaves of streps on DG!
This is the tray I meant to post instead of that cockeyed pic
How pretty, Phoebe..........
I found Genesis opening today. She is not on the strep site so I need to find out if she is a Dibley.
Fancy Pants is opening again.
Yours are very pretty too Gail! I struggle with streps. Here is AV Lollipop
Last one for today--99 cent NoID...slightly blurry. Guess I lose my camera powers when the sun goes down--hee-hee!
Gail, I googled and found one, Streptocarpus Fleischle Genesis. Scroll down this page to see it: http://www.streptocarpus-info.com/tablef.html
Phoebe: Great looking plants! What is that little mini looking AV in the photo, the on the left with the kinda lime green variegated foliage ... oooh, and also that little one right in front of it?
Lin--
Lime green=Rob's Bunny Wabbit--obviously has done a nice job suckering---I'll get to it....
Little one in front is Teeny Bopper-it's a mini trailer
The bell shaped flower in the earlier post is another mini --Bellawood Trail
Thanks for the BD greetings, plantladylin! It has been a beautiful day.
Oooh, I just had to go google that Rob's Bunny Wabbit to see the blooms! What a beautiful little AV! Now, is this considered a trailer, or just a mini? Check out these photo's at that Chinese website, Dolly's: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-TW&u=http://www.dollyyeh.idv.tw/picture.htm&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=5&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DAfrican%2BViolet%2BRob%2527s%2BBunny%2BWabbit%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG
Juney: So glad you've had a nice Birthday!
Thanks so much LIn.........now I know where the leaf came from. A lady who has some Fleischle streps.......again gracias!
You are welcome, Gail ... I can't remember the word for welcome in Spanish, or I would post it here, LOL. I always wanted to learn another language or two, would love to be able to speak fluently in French and Spanish. Aaaah, but some would say I have enough trouble with English! ^_^
Cool website Lin! I bookmarked it.
It really is a great site, with lots of pictures!

Wow!! I dont have any blooms right now! I'm just stoppin by to get my daily flower fix, and as always, you all have supplied more than enough!! Very nice!!!!
Lin--to answer you question--yes the pots/cups fit quite snugly in the openings. Whats in that big bottle on the floor next your plant stand? I'd love to see it!
Jim--maybe you would know the name of that strep that looks like falling stars only the flowers are pink? I had it once--prolly got it at Logees--but I lost it awhile ago and would like to replace it. I think it had a girl's name--not sure, but I will recognize it if I see it.
Could it be Strep Gloria your thinking about? It's is a sport of Falling Stars.

I LOVE LOGEES!!!!!!! And really miss going there. ^_^
I had to look at everyones beautiful pictures again.I'm falling in love with the mini AV's!
I think it might be Gloria--name sounds vaguely familiar--but the description is right on. I love going to Logees--when were you there last Jan?
I am not posting this for the blooms-- but the containers;) I have been looking for something to hold my mini-sinns and enough water for wicking since I didn't want to plant directly into a snifter etc. Found these yesterday at the thrift shop-- I think they were for floating candles and they work perfectly. I have been carrying a little pot ^_^ in my purse and trying on glassware for a while. got 3 for .25 ea. Think I will keep my eye out for more.
Looks perfect! Great idea! May put a little pot^_^ in my pocket too!
AV Winter Smiles (Russian Hybrid)
This is one of my favorite AVs!

I think these blossoms are "star" shaped?
I hope it is okay to post non-gessie blooms:)
Here is Phalaenopsis Sogo Pearl
Oncidium Sharry Baby Sweet Fragrance
The blooms smell like chocolate/vanilla. Heavenly!!!!
She's a space hog too.
