Wow, all so pretty. Love the pink edge on the Nancy Reagan! Looks like it would be a large plant, but VB lists it as a small standard.

Seems good sized to me! Its grown alot since I got it. I like there version because all the pictures I have seen of it the edging is white?

Very nice plants ...

Nancy Reagan is a fond memory for me. And I love the others also! Beautiful! Rosie

Thanks for sharing. Those are all really nice done. The size and variegation on the Nancy Reagan tempt me to put one on my list!

Go ahead and put her on your list. She is Vintage and prettier in person. I think if you ever get her,,,,,you will agree! Rosie

Oh, I just put Rob's Cotton Ball on Rosie's list, err my list.

Upon looking up on Rob's site...yours is much prettier (more purple) than the example.

Yes! In summer months it has more purple and in winter it would be more white. I did get it from them last yr so it should look the same!

Hmm, I would have thought that would be the reverse seasonality.

Jeff, you don't have the message thing I don't believe so I will put it here... I would be happy to send you a leaf of it if you would like! I think with the RR you had one I was hoping to get, Buckeye Seductress? Ugh, I love that one and just haven't pressed the bid button on ebay yet. Send me a message if your interested and I may have some others you may like too.

dbarron,,,it is already on my list!!!! lol Rosie

have a brilliant idea. Rosie can make a copy of this magic wish list and send it to the rest of us to mark out the ones we do have that will leave us with a list of ones we want. All of our shopping can come from the list and we will all grow African Violets happily ever after

hmmmm, sounds like not too bad of an idea! Rosie lol

It does sound like a nice de-duplication of effort feat.

It might take a looooong time to download Rosie's wishlist.

Yes, and not sure that your computers have the appropriate file system (index cards).

Nope Rosie, nothing ever lost here....saved for reuse in humorous ways.

You guys are sooooo funny! Rosie

See...see Irina, this is what happens when you let us guys into your club.

Im sure some of you are like me. I have quite a few plants. Some nice some not so nice. I only propagate once a year. It takes up to much of my time otherwise. The rest of the time, my trimmed leaves and bloom stalks go in the trash.

It would be helpful if we could trade email or addresses amongst ourselves. Then, when it comes time to do some pruning, I know who to send the leaves to.

I would be more than happy to stick a couple of leaves in a ziplock and send them to whoever wants them. Cost of a stamp really.

Not sure how we would go about this but I often feel guilty throwing leaves from expensive plants away. I know somebody somewhere would love to have them.

At any rate, Stamik, drop me an email and let me know your address and the next time I trim up the Seductress, Ill send you the leaves.

Jeff that is a great idea for people who want to do that. I think that is the purpose of "following" people so you can privately email and make an agreement between whomever you are talking to. If all of the "trading talk" were carried on openly in the forum it would become a trading forum and not a discussion forum. I would hate to see that happen.

That is why it is important to follow people so you can message each other privately.

I would love to trade or pay postage and if someone said they had leaves for trade or postage, I would respond but privately.

So come on everyone!!!! Fix your settings so this can happen! "Follow" the people on the forum to give you messaging capabilities!!!! YAY!!!! Rosie

I agree Rosie. Would not want this to become trading site. Not very good at checking messages here but I will be sure to conduct any trading talk via my email account.

As an aside note, I just now followed everybody here. My messages may work now, we'll see.

Thanks Jeff! I have been following you for a long time. And even if you just use PM to give out your email,,,,that's fine also! I have mine set up to send me an email if any messages are posted here etc. Heaven forbid I should miss something about violets!!!!! Rosie

Oh! This sounds wonderful! I'm following you all now, too. I also hate to toss the extra leaves, and currently have too many little violets....my "mom" heart has a real hard time discarding! I'm up for trades!

Sue

Jeff and Sue,,,do you think we are triplets???? I am the same way!!!! Rosie

I try to start just about everything I remove so I can share with others who are less fortunate. It almost breaks my heart to throw out a leaf.

Oh wait!! Counting Julia,,,,,Are we quadruplets???? Rosie

I know,, let's start a club. We can call it "The Neverending Leaf" Club! Rosie

You know there is a forum for exchanging African violets. We just don't use it very often! http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/african-violet-exchange

I never knew this! It is just more convenient to say something here and let people private message you back!!!! Thanks Sue! Rosie

Stamik, very nice plants! You did a good job - they look nice and neat. I would love to exchange some leaves with you, please. Polina.

Staci, I tried to reply to your message, but it didn't go through.

Email: stamik2004@gmail.com. I am following you now so it might work now?
