Peek a boo! A Bluejay hides as a butterly makes a visit.
Zooming in.
My new African Violet and Streptocarpus babies just arrived safely via US mail from the Violet Barn. I placed
a flash drive next to these to give you a size comparison.
So tiny! They arrived in 2 inch pots.
'Rob's Humpty Doo' is a Trailing African Violet. I repotted this in a small styrofoam cup. Even so, I've been told
that this small cup is too big for a new transplant. We'll see.
'Rob's Lili Phil' is a trailing African Violet. Hey, I had to get a friend for the other trailer!
A makeshift drip saucer...I ordered a special tiered container for them when they're big enough. We'll see.
Purple Shamrocks grew like weeds, however. These were started from rizomes, however.
The rest of my babies are thriving, and though you can barely see them, the purple Shamrocks are starting to blossom.
The African Violets are spreading and blooming and the transplanted violet (It needed a bigger pot) is doing so well, I may
have to transplant it again into an even bigger pot!
So little victories help to ease the pain of the green Shamrock seed disaster.
Well, the green shamrock rhizomes I tried worked. These are growing like weeds as well, and after only two weeks since
sprouting,need new homes!
The mini African Violet trailers like their tierd home. I keep having to turn it a quarter turn each day so they can
all get their rays.
Well, they're all 'big' babies now!
Finally! This Christmas Cactus is 3 years old and only just now, in March of 2013 has it decided to bloom again! The
other is steadfastly refusing!
