    I’d love to trade some leaves with you, but I’m sure the US Customs Dept would have their knickers in a twist! Your success with leaf propagation is impressive. I’ve done a few, but it is really hit or miss. I have managed to only keep one baby plantlet alive to full growth stage out of maybe 5 or so. Of course, I don’t put the leaves down on any grand scale. Just a few every now and then, mostly when I’m repotting and pruning.

    It’s such a shame that sending things between the US and UK is a pain – it’d open a much wider world of plant-swapping! I’d love to be able to send some leaves back and forth. I don’t really have a great rate of propagation, to be honest, I just tend to plant up a lot of leaves – though I think my east-facing window really helped last year with my spring planted batch =)

    Thought I’d check in on your progress… WoW! You’ve added quite a few since I last looked. Some of them sound lovely, can’t wait to see them bloom. Just noticed a new bud on one of my ne’er-befores – looks white. I do hope my Ballet Snowcone looks as good as yours!

    My Ballet Snowcone has actually started to bloom yet again – it’s very keen to keep going! It is also one of the fastest I’ve got in my collection from ‘almost peeking above a leaf’ to ‘full flower stalk, bud open’ – about a week compared to some I have which take well over a month =o I hope yours are as vigorous when they come up and that they flower for ya soon _

    Well, well, well! I see you have branched out into other gesneriads with a vengeance! :) LOL And you have added quite a number of AVs to your collection. We have quite a few in common. I’m heading in the direction of vintage violets now, trying to save them for future generations!

    Hehe yep, I’ve branched out – I became a member of the Gesneriad Society and it sort of went a bit outta control, hehe. Most of them are just tiny seedlings for the moment, though – I have no idea where I’ll put them once they’re grown =D I had to restock my collection after the mitepocalypse and found a vendor selling leaves in Europe of varieties that I couldn’t get before so I may have gone a little happy-spendy _; I’m not sure if I’ll keep them all – I’m determined this time to ditch any that don’t like my growing conditions. That said I uh… have trouble throwing out any AV…

    It’s cool if you can get some of the vintage ones – it’d be nice to see some of them become more common again!
