Hi everyone, first I must say I miss you guys a lot. Well I went to a flower show on easter monday and I found three vendors with a few AVS well my heart melt and I bought the only six they had. It would have been seven but the other vendor AV had mealy bugs so I kept my distance.

I got two healthy suckers with roots from two and the others I took leaf cuttings it's not a big start but we'll it's what I could get my hands on also got six different colours the pink not in bloom.

Hopefully it will be the beginning of another beautiful love affair. Velleta

Hi, Velleta, Welcome back. What happened, did you lose your collection from the heat?

I know a vendor whose plants have mealy bug. I would not want to buy from that vendor, either!

Yes Fortyseven, I was so upset I couldn't even go in the grow room. But I am back in the game if only with a few. I am thinking to call a lady who supplied me the the first set. I though I would see her at the flower show but didn't. Hopefully she will be able to offer me a better selection. Velleta

Have you thought about hybridizing? If you started with plants that mostly tolerate your climate, then the offspring (the ones that survive) should be even better adapted to your conditions...
