July Blooms, Part V
She was done blooming in early July and is now setting seed. Whoo Hoo!
Sinningia 'Peridot's Darth Vader'
This has got to be my favorit strep.
Strep 'Guidlines'
No....wait a minute...this is my favorite. It's just so little and cute and always covered in blooms.
'Mighty Mouse'
Kim - is it in the budget to compromise? They can get a dog, if you get a cat?
WOW, you have some VERY beautiful plants!
I love that Darth Vader! Awesome!
It looks like you grow quite a few gesneriads? That's super!
Welcome to the AV forum where we LOVE trading, pictures, and chatting. Make yourself at home. You will love it here :)
Kim
I tried to order Guidelines from Lyndon Lyon and they were out of them...............really nice pictures . Of course Darth Vadar is everyone's favorite!
Thanks Kim
I hope nobody minds that I just jumped right in without an intro. Should I post one? I always did on my Yahoo groups but not here on DG. I guess 'cause there's so many forums you'd be posting for days. LOL Yes I grew lots of everything....kinda scaled down now. Kept most all my Gessies but went from around 400 AVs down to around 30. Now it is fun again instead of feeling like a full time job. LOL I had 2 full knee replacements and started doing more outside gardening .... I collect daylilies ... something had to give. I still haven't learned that 'you can't do EVERYTHING'. I'll probably try until the day I die.
Gail - I used to live in Aransas Pass and worked at Rhaphis gardens in Gregory....small world!
I just took two big leaves off my Guidelines to share with my AV group that I'm headed to this morning. Dmail me your addy and I'll stick a chunk in an envelope for ya. : )
Roxanne
Roxanne, how nice of you to send me a leaf!!!!
I cannot believe that you worked for Lynn McKamey..............I think she has shut down the operation now.......but not positive.......wouldn't you love to have her greenhouses??????????
I will dmail you and don't forget I have lots of streps so tell me what you are looking for and I might have it!
gail
It' doesn't surprise me if they are shut down...
When I was there they grew a very limited variety of plants and seemed to just be treading water. This was 20 years ago. I wish I could have afforded some of those plants I worked on. I do have 1 Rhaphis palm. Once a year the manager would let us go to the 'dog pen' where we kept the ugly plants that were just hanging on and pick out one to take home. I have managed to keep one of them alive all these years. Although it never has thrived....still just hanging on. LOL
Roxy
I think the owner just didn't have interest in what she was doing............waaaay too much money and maybe not enough knowledge??????? don't know!
Good Morning Everyone!
