Brenda..LOL.When I said like a turtle I meant my typing,but you brought up a good point after I looked at the pictures again.Your plants are so pretty.
Kim,
Love your apartment and all those plants.Great pictures,too.I'm sure Jim will appreciate you naming a plant after him...LOL.
Lynn
March Blooms!
Brenda---------I didn't want to see that, it is soooo gorgeous. But I had to buy another grow light yesterday. I have to hang it from the ceiling. Now Brenda, enuf is enuf. s-i-g-h--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll just go cook up some ground meat for the kids and pretend I never saw that.
Look at those babies, all snuggly and warm! So cute!
African Violet - Alchemy Antique Bells
Nice m3r- I've never heard of this violet. It really looks healthy. I like it and I'm not fond of white flowers.
I'm not usually fond of white ones either, but this has a tinge of yellow at least.
And it's so tiny and cute... Plus it was a gift from someone I love.. So that's why I like it :-D
hey, that makes a world of difference. Can you all spell l-o-v-e?
I am such a BAD plant Mom! I found Chirita Kazu with buds, but it was bone dry!
Just look at this ... I am such a bad mom. I think I need to repot this Kazu!
... and I guess I should check the others?

Dimmer...your plants are looking great! I too like your bedroom with the spaciousness, comfortable seating and of course the light stands and plants. Must be a very enjoyable space for you. Very nice.
Bemedel...lots of beauties again and always a pleasure to see. I do love those fantasies. I have a baby of Space Dust and Bristol's Zapped is going on the want list. Your sinningia Darth Vader outdid itself with spectacular blossoms.
M3...Excellent photo of Jason Bay and thanks for starting the thread.
I'm laughing at you, Lin. ^_^
Your chirita Kazu looks good plus it's going to bloom. You could give it a drink and a new pot. LOL! These gessies are tougher than we think.
LOL, I checked the rest of the Chirita's and a few more look like that too! Here's Stardust ...
I'm laughing with you...LOL.The Chirita looks great and whatever is in the second picture looks great,too,but well,maybe,just a little rootbound ^_^.
Lynn
The bottom of the pot of Stardust .... Do ya think I'm on a roll here? I better get busy with spring re-potting soon!
Almost looks like a little palm tree.
LOL, I had a picture somewhere of an old AV Optimara Annabelle that grew and all the bottom leaves were off and it looked like an AV Palm tree! Gotta see if I can find that picture!
I would love to see it!
This is my Palm Tree AV last summer ... plant went to AV Heaven.
Doesn't that look just like a palm tree trunk?
That is cute!
Ok, here it is . . . it's not all the way open yet, but this is the first bloom . . . I grew it from a leaf cutting . . . the parent plant is 10x bigger and has yet to bloom!!!
Tiny Wood Trail
Oh my goodness,it sure does! ^_^. If that happens again just cut it off and reroot it.Oh...now I get it,you are a trendsetter! We now have tree peonies,roses and Avs...LOL.You could probably make millions!
Lynn
Nichole,
It's so cute!
I had numerous Optimara Annabelle's and a couple of the Isabelle ... they both grew that way. I tried changing the lighting etc., they just were wannabe palm trees! LOL.
Nichole, I love that Tiny Wood Trail ... so cute! Isn't it something, a little cutting that is blooming and large plant nada? I tell you, they have minds of their own!
I am really getting interested in those trailers! I haven't seen a photo of one I didn't like yet! LOL. Someday, if I get back into growing AV's and Gessie's I will try a trailer or two ... or three .... or
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
Three hundred...LOL
Whoa! Nope, I can't seem to handle 20 Gesneriads at once, and keep them all alive!
When you decide to try trailers again, just let me know!
Thank you Nichole! I will definitely post an interest on the forum if I ever get to that point.
I LOVE trailers!! this is my (current) favorite: Lady Trail. I like the foilage as much as the blooms^_^
Nice Lady Trail Fran--may have to put it on my list!
WTG--Syru--so glad Tiny Wood Trail bloomed for you! I really like mine.
Lin--love your palm tree! It is actually quite attractive! You may have started something here!^_^
Brenda,
I am sorry was a busy day here and this is the first I have been back.... Jim has helped me with a few of the names but I am going to post just in case there is one some of you know.....
The first one we believe is Water Fall Well I don't know where I put the stupid pictures... but here is one for you all to help with...
Sue
here is one which we believe is inky fingers
Sue
Not sure of this one either... Maybe Kim?
sue
Not sure what this one is...
Sue
I have a Waterfall baby getting ready to open it's first bloom so we can compare and decide on that one.
OK Susan here I go with a few names for you based on the streps I have knowledge of....
#1 I don't know that one but it sure is pretty!
#2 I agree, Inky Fingers, Looks just like mine that is blooming right now.
#3 Bristol's Tractor Beam (and I think I sent you one last summer??)
#4 I say it is Jealous Heart. I have one from Raingazer and it's in bloom and looks like yours!
So do any of those names ring a bell with streps you know you've had?
Lin I love that Palm Tree AV, think you should start the trend, it is cool looking! ^_^
Gold Leaf I have three young Bristol's Zapped plants grown from leaf and they are all blooming true, you have to love the Bristol's for that reason among many!
Edited to say... Hillbilly Gran that girl foliage trailer is to die for!!

First bloom on Episcia Star of Bethlehem
First bloom from E. Pink Panther (these are the stolons you sent Goldleaf)
Brenda,
Yes they do and thank you... Those are the names Jim said he thought they were... Ok going to take a few pictures and come back with pictures and maybe you could name a few more...LOL... Thank you so much.
Hugs,
Susan
Glad my answers agreed with the expert Susan!! I'd like to see your others...
Star of Bethlehem is my very favorite episcia bloom!! And a plant I can't grow well to save my life! Has to be in a terrarium to even think of blooming for me. I struggle with episcias and have about given up except for a couple of hangers on'ers. ^_^ Nice job with yours Gran.
I have several new strep blooms I'm enjoying .... this one is called Butter Blues, me and my yellows.....
edited to say that in person the throats are very yellow in these!
