I have a plant of Buckeye Diamonds Are that is birthmarked and tends to throw various oddities once in a while. Sometimes it throws pure white flowers, and...
Wendy, this is PRETTY. Try the chimera way of starting new ones (using the crown of the plant). I know others will be more detailed in how to start the...
Wendy, You should sent this picture to Pat Hancock the Hybridizer and get her opinion. ... From: Wendy B in AL To: avconnectionn@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday,...

Does anyone have Pat's email address? I will definitely send her a picture and see what she says. The plant has only one bloom opened right now, but others are...
Thanks, Jackie, I think so too! If I remove the crown, it will start suckers where the crown was, right? I am game to try it but if someone can give me...
Wendy, Here's Pat's e-mail address: pat.hancock @ hughes.net (no spaces) Use that for sending the photo but give her a phone call to discuss it. She doesn't...
I agree with the others, it looks like a chimera to me. To root a bloomtalk, I usually wait till the bloom starts to fade a little bit because I hate to ruin...
Greetings group! I was really taken by the photo of the AV "Blackhawk" in the most recent AVSA magazine. I've done a few preliminary searches for this AV on a...
Thanks. I may just e-mail him to congratulate him on the great hybrid. My March copy is on its way to your address. Again, thanks, for so many beautiful...

Thanks so much for these directions, Julie! I have four more bloomstalks coming up with buds about to open, all that look identical to this one, so at least I...
Sorry to be slow to answer. I have never tried rooting hormone. You may want to try some with & some without to be safe. Good luck & let us know how you do. ...
Julie and Wendy, and Others, This has been an interesting discussion. I start flower stems pretty much as Julie described. If there are little leaves on the...
I am looking for a camera that brings out the best blues, and violet colors for violets. I have a Nikon that I like but find hard to get the right color. Any...
Hi Brenda! Several years ago when I went shopping for my digital camera, I took along a blooming plant of Deep Sky. It was loaded with blooms in various...
For photos for the web and small photos for publications, the best camera that I have ever used and still have was a cheap web cam by intel called the Intel...
I use a Canan SD850 IS which I dearly love. The image stabilizer allows for lower light without a tripod and the macro allows some really great photos of...
Brenda and Janet, This is a complicated question. Janet, your photos are as near to true colors as I have seen. Among the many things to consider, is the...
Oh, Sylvia - YES!! I REALLY REALLY miss that swivel lens; I had one on my Canon G3 and it was SO nice. So was the camera, actually and did a fantastic job...
Thru the generosity of a fellow list member I had the opportunity to acquire a number of miniature and semi-miniature plants this year. I wanted to see if I...
Sylvia, You are right. Lighting is everything when it comes to digital photography. In my experience, natural light is the best for getting true color. I...
I spoke with Pat Hancock this AM. I now have five bloomstalks loaded up with blooms, four of which have opened, all with the same pattern. She is certain I've...
I use a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ50 (I think there is a newer model now) and I find it reasonably good. If I am being very particular about colour, I photograph...
It's impressive what it can do that my newer digital's cannot..... To get something near true color with my digitals I have to use natural light, stand on my...
Wendy, It was certainly nice of Pat to call you. What fun! You will have a registered variety, which you can name! I can hardly wait to see the photos! I...
