Hello ladies! I need to take pics of new blooms, too, but busy potting up new babies. I have always liked Pink Gator foliage.
January Blooms continued #6
Gail, could you post your pic of Sylvia? I was perusing ebay and thinking....
I was just working on pictures but didn't take one of Sylvia........be right back....
Here she is up close.
Some streps are just stronger growers than others and Sylvia is a strong one!
I get so excited I take pictures too soon but Aeschynanthus Black Pagoda is covered in buds.
Aeschynanthus Holiday Bells is covered in buds also.
I wish our summers had this cool weather that makes all the cane begonias bloom!
In the beginning I was not impressed with Blueberry Butterflies, but now I am falling in love with her color.
First blooms on Bristol's Blue Water and I love her!
I simply love to get strep leaves so I have surprises. This is Bristol's Mom's Plant.
Someone must have sent a leaf because she looks like Bristol's Party Girl and I have never had a Party Girl.
Is she something else?
Caitand in a closeup.
As a plant, she is 'kinda wooly and wild looking with slender leaves.
Cape Baby has decided to bloom again. I think a thank you is in order to Bonnie for this beauty!
Every day that Catania grows she gets prettier ...........
Shenandoah's Sweet Talk is growing on me.
Nematanthus Tropicana picture got out of place (LOL)
I have never seen an ugly Ogelvee strep and this is Echo. They all seem to bloom continuously.
Inky Frills
I was thrilled to see I had kept a leaf of Night Beacon.
Pink Leyla's blooms are bigger than her foliage!
No matter how big and ugly Poochie's leaves get I like her!
I have posted one of Ruffled Rose but here she is again tonight!
Here is the right picture for Shenandoah's Sweet Talk...............sorry.
Snowkist Strawberry Frizz........
I think this is all folks!
Thanks Gail! Good to know she is strong--Got a couple of others I want to pick your brain about---BRB
Oooohs and aaaahs for these beauties. I'm having a strep attack.
Oh no! Call the doctor for ABT!
Phoebe,
I never met a strep I didn't love, so get started on your collection.........^_^
Only a few Gail...and I really shouldn't. Might have to feed them to the rabbit if they grow too large! heh-heh! There's a couple on ebay I like if they are not floppers, but I'm too tired to go back and get their names right now--Iput them on watch status.
You can keep a strep any size you want it? I have to trim mine in order to have room for all of them, but that is great with me. Propagating is my favorite thing to do.
I am so excited that when I was potting up babies today, I realized that I had kept a leaf of Dracula's Shadow! She has always been one of my favorite Thompson streps. I found a picture of her when she was little and then somehow I lost or sold her!
This is small bloom but she gets very very large like Azure Giant.
That is amazing Gail--glad you found it! Hey...been awhile since Jim checked in--wonder if his laptop tanked. I miss him!
I miss him, too, for several reasons. (LOL) I have some unidentified streps and need him.

Harmony's Pinkstone--wasn't gonna post this as is new aquisition, but I really like this pic. It looks better full size, but Dave's cut it down.
What a pretty african violet. Is it a new acquisition? Lucky you if true.
Yeah--can't take credit for those blooms, but I can for these...
Ballet Snowcone

Wow,Wow,Wow,That's all I can say.LOL.
What a great way to start the day seeing all these pretty plants! Gail how many streps are you up to? Or have you lost count? LOL.Can you save me one of those seed pods on Silvia please.I would like to grow that one and see how close it grows from seed.
phoebesviolets,I love your snowcone and the other one too..I need to find out your real name.LOL.
Have a good day everyone ^_^
I just call her Phoebe and I know that was her dog's name. (LOL)
I didn't even notice there were seed pods on Sylvia......I certainly will save you seed!
