OT-Non AV Blooms 2021

5 years ago

Ok all, this particular thread was started by Paul in Michigan I think. I am keeping up the tradition for 2021 !

I participated in a trade with a member of this group and received some very nice things I had never heard of before!

From top left to right--Seemania silvatica/ and at the right end are a couple of begonia wedges that made babies !

Next row--Episcia "NOID" (but lovely!)/ next is Sinningia Prudence Risely/ another begonia wedge baby!

Next row--nothing/ halfway down is Episcia Harmony's Slinky Pink.

Bottom row--nothing/ 2 AV leaves Maggie Lee.

The blank spaces did have cuttings/leaves but sadly they died. Strangely enough the cuttings are all robust but the violet leaves of Maggie Lee are well rooted but not one baby yet.

All of these were planted Sept 25, 2020., so you would think Maggie Lee would have babies. That's ok,,,,I am patient! Just thought I would share. Rosie in Michigan

    Are those planted in pure sphagnum moss, Rosie? I think that's your new go-to wonder starting medium, isn't it. ;-) Everything looks beautifully green!

    Yes they are and yes it is. I don't have near the fatalities using barely damp sphagnum moss! I love it,,,,,,thanks! Rosie

    Great Idea, Miss Rosie! sphagnum has fungicidal and bactericidal property. Very high survival rate.

    Looks like a good time to move the plants out of the kindergarten.

    Hmm,seems, with the exception of Rosie, that you folks have been slacking with regards to this thread. Let's try to get the ball rolling, shall we?



    Trying to do this with my phone. Something I've never done before. We'll see how it goes.


    First, a mini orchid.





    Then a not as mini orchid



    To end with a truly mini carnivorous plant (the plant is about the size of a dime).

    So much fun! I will post some Christmas Cactus, or Schlumbergera.

    I also posted some new No I.D. AVs I just got on a different older thread on identifying a No I.D. posted by another member.

    I groomed them and rooted the leaf tips that were removed. Rosie, if you want them, let me know. I will wait until the leaves are rooted, 2 or 3 more weeks. They are easier care than AVs. Low to moderate light, can be outdoors in mild weather, not fussy or precise about watering. The blooms are fun, leaves look nice even when not blooming. I think they came from a nursery in PA.

    I have a couple more lovelies to show on this thread. First my sininngia pusilla-I complained that it wasn't doing enough and after Irina gave me a polite talking to I took her advice and now I have a full pot! In fact it needs to be divided and spread out! lol


    Second is my brugmansia Charles Grimaldi, cuttings given to me by a friend late last fall. Hopefully they will bloom this year!


    And last but certainly not least,,,,,,begonia foliosa. A miniature leaf begonia that bloomed while she was rooting!!!!! I just love small things!!!!!


    I took these pix this morning because it was raining and so dark and dreary my cell phone camera didn't have to compete with the sunlight coming thru the window!

    Hope you enjoy them! Rosie
