Hi Kim! No, it never hurts to ask in my opinion. I am a little confused, are you wanting another mySensation? Or are you wanting other Optimaras???

PS IMO prices like that ARE outrageous!!!!! Rosie

MySensation is a newer variety in a rare color for violets (green).

The price won't be dropping for awhile because pf high demand.

On the positive, I've had vert good success with leaves from Selective Gardener, ... so I would suggest honing your skills until you're confident about your abilities ... and then, give it a shot.

Oh, I am wanting to find MySensation. And $22 for 2 leaves is just too much I am afraid.

Kim, I have several plants of Optimara Ontario II. If you want some leaves, I will send them to you, even if you are in the States and I am in Canada. Let me know.

Yolanda

Yolanda, thank you that is very sweet of you to offer. I am in the states, but I could never say no to leaves from such a pretty violet. Do you want to message me on here?

Kim how do I message you? Let me know and I will.

Yolanda

Yolanda, I can never remember how it works with this site. I think there is some setting you need to select first to be able to recieve messages, then something else.... probably be easier if I just gave you one of my email addresses. I can be reached at turtlescales @ gmail.com

Kim and Yolanda,,,,to message each other you each have to "follow" each other. Here's how. Put your cursor on the name at the top of the persons post and a box will appear that says "follow". Click on it, then it will enable "follow". Then you can click on her name and go to her profile page anytime to send a private message! Rosie

I am using this site pretty much exclusively on my smart phone and tablet, complicates things a bit for me. :) A new computer is on the to-do list once I can.

Well, I don't know what a smart phone does or doesn't do. I have a dumb phone. Makes a call, gets a call.

Maybe someone else can help to tell you how to do it from a smart phone. Sorry I couldn't help. Rosie

Smart phones are often dumber than "dumb phones". And need far less expensive doo dads to keep them from breaking at the slightest thing.

Also, think I may have looked at the wrong plant. Is this similar to Alaska II? It was a grocery store plant, no label or ID. My Hoya addiction takes up most of my grow space, so if they are similar maybe I will pass after all so some other lucky grower can have those leaves instead. :)

This poor plant... I left it in that awful peat too long, and kept going through phases of wilting and perking back up that made the leaves look sort of mottled. When I repotted I ended up doing a root prune and took off all the icky leaves. It is coming back nicely, this picture was recent. Hopefully next time it blooms there will be more flowers.

Kim, Rosie, I do NOT have a phone, smart or dumb. My husband has my older daughter's old phone, and does not want a phone with a keyboard. I guess the two of us are luddites.

Yolanda

Well, you are not the only one. I will not give up my landline phone no matter HOW far technology improves (?)!!!!! And I rarely use my cell. Lives in my purse but family won't let me get rid of it! And I never wanted one in the first place! Rosie
