Colleen, we certainly did have a great time. Sue, your big Nova is very pretty. I love the pink colours. It is quite different from mine and your smaller one. Karen, Vrieseas are my favourites too but as Sue said they need a bit more care. They are also usually quite expensive because they are slower to pup and often don't have as many pups as Neos. I'm only just getting brave enough now to buy some. I think they are well worth the extra effort. This is Vr. ospinae gruberi. It seems to be a fairly tough one. Jen
