Hello All, I've just found your group, thanks for having me. I live in Mass, about halfway between Boston and Cape Cod. I've been growing violets for about 2...
Hey Cindy, Now is a wonderful time to be a begginner. Pat Hancock who is the Hybridizer of the famous Buckeye series of violets is making an offer. If you...
... Go to http://www.avsa.org and click on the AVSA Vendors link. You'll find lots of places, and many of them have web sites. My personal favorite is The...
Thanks! Like I really needed one more AV web site to go crazy over!!! I don't know how I missed this before; very nice. And yes, very well designed!!...

Apology big time is in order from me to all you listfolks. I erroneously emailed this list that Pat Hancock's offer of the Buckeye Leaves for the AVSA...
Hi All, I have a plant of 'Rob's Smarty Pants' that I grew from a leaf. She is just coming into flower and her first bloom is only showing a very very very...
Hi Homero, I have the same problem with my three plants of Rob's Smarty Pants. All the colors are very muted in the summer when it gets hot. I don't have air...
I think it will be the next bloom cycle at least, and maybe a bit longer. I live in South Texas, and it does get very hot - probably about the same conditions...
Hello Marjorie and Joe, Thank you for the list of web sites, that should keep me busy for quite awhile! I joined the AVSA yesterday and hope to take advantage...
What max size should photos be for posting on a web site for reasonable loading time while still maintaining quality? Thanks, Christel Collier in Lakeland, FL...
... Hi Christel, There are two different "sizes" when you're talking about digital images -- the physical dimension and the file size. File size determines ...
I have Rob's Smarty Pants. Be patient with the little thing. As it matures you will get more color and richer fantasy. You are correct in finding it a...
I have posted photos of the Streps from the convention at my Picturetrail Albums at http://www.picturetrail.com/marjbcrp. It is the 4th album. It is just so...

Fantastic photos, Christel!! I love the way you have them grouped so well into different albums. I have to admit, I will have to go back a few times more!!!...
Thanks for sharing your photos Christel! I certainly appreciate the work that went into organizing all of the photos. These shared photos make up for having to...
I am working on photos from convention and have something I am not familiar with. The name tag says Episcis Pinkiscia -- looks kind of similar to E. Pink...
Thanks, Joe! I figured it had to be -- but then, there are so many strange things in the gesneriad world I am almost afriad to take anything for granted!! ...
Marjorie, I have Episcia 'Pinkiscia'. It's one of my favorite pink blossomed ones. Glad to see it's still being grown. Aneita in SO CAL, USA :o) On Mon, 4...
Hi All, I'm having a frustrating issue w/my lighter-green leaved plants (Music Box Dancer and Neptune's Jewels, specifically). They're growing and blooming...
Well, I hope you get an answer to your question, Homero, because my MBD is doing the same thing. It looks like Celery right now. I've tried the ends of the...
Homero, I had Music box dancer and it grew fairly flat. It was on a stand that received a little bit of natural and artificial light. It got about 4 hours of...
Homer, My experience is that most lighter green leaved plants need much less light and I place them on the outer sides of the light garden. I've never tried...
Okay, I moved MBD to the outer side of my light shelves today, plus on that particular shelf lights are further away from the plants. We just closed the storm...
... I'm having problems with Rob's Shadow Magic. The first leaves were solid green, then came beautiful varigation. The varigation lasted quite awhile. Now the...
Candy, The changes in variegation that you describe are usually (in my experience) affected by temperature or age. TLV is usually more pronounced when plants...
Thank you Homero for this piece of information: I have the same experience as you do, even if here temperatures have reached 100* F only for a couple weeks....
