Oh, I have been so fortunate. Most of these have been shared over the years by some very generous collectors. They are all looking healthy now, but I will have to do some spraying before bringing them back inside in the fall. It is so easy to bring in mealies or other bugs. Thank you so much!

Very beautiful! I love the Kew and ping. I wish my patens grew more upright like yours. They look great!

How gorgeous they all are!

look GREAT!!! Could that kirkii be 'Superclone'?

But they are mostly snake plants?

Woodnative, I got this one labeled as Kirki Silver Blue. It is very vertical, so Superclone may be right.

Mike, yes, mostly snake plants, but I love to grow others too.

Beautiful !!!

And my favorites - 'Sunrise' and 'Mein Liebling', they are gorgeous :)

How fast it grows 'Mein Liebling' ? My copy has not been growing for nearly 2 years, while others grow well. Do you keep him in the shade or in the sun ?

Thanks! Mein Leibling has been slow for me too. I may have had it 4 or 5 years. I have windows on the east, so I try to crowd them in to get a little winter sun. in the summer they are on the east too, under the eaves of the house. I was surprised that Sunrise is so tall. It has an unusual olive green color.

They just look fantastic. I am struggling with a white parva and truly hope it might one day attain the stature of yours. How are you making it happy? The color in your Masoniana is a little dreamy. Very nice!

Hi Shana Lee, I have had some problems with it too. Try to give it good light and careful watering. It’s funny, but I have failed several times with green parvas, but this one has survived for quite a while. Thanks.

They look amazing... congrats!

Hi Mary,

Thanks! How are your plants doing this summer?

Parvas on my office windowsill

They are so beautiful Chris. Looks like several runners. Is the one on the right a parva too?

Chris, is that a variegated parva? Heard about parva but this is the first time I see the real picture of it. Yours look different than barb’s. Yours seems more yellow? Or they are different Cutivals? And it is on my wish list now. :)

The lighting is weird in the photo. The pot on the left is the standard white parva........it is fairly vigorous despite being so white. The one on the right is the yellow striated parva........it has random stripes of yellow throughout every leaf different.

Thanks Chris. They are both very beautiful.

Yes, Indeed. Gives one much hope.

Barb, Always love looking at your pictures. Great job.

Chris, waiting to see your collection. Always great as well.

Thank you Stush, just reading about your greenhouse project, hope you have fun making it.

@barbmock... Thanks for asking about my green babies Barb... They are doing much better; I’ve had more of a desire to care for them this year, and you can tell... the ones you so generously sent me are doing awesome, I only lost a ‘Streaker’ (not sure if from you haha! ) I’ll post a pic in a couple of months when they start to show growth!

Mary, I am glad you are feeling better. Caring for your plants is good therapy.
