Okay, let me start by saying I have a lipstick plant (aeschynanthus radicans), nothing special but its full, and growing, and oh so pretty. But it wont bloom. But in the meantime while waiting for her to bloom, I took a few clippings.

A couple went into soil, one went into grodin(rockwool), and a couple went in a small jar on my window sill. They have all rooted, even the ones in water. They all have new growth.....so YAY! for me. But Darn It!!! The one I rooted in water seems to be forming flowers.....can you believe that!!! I see see little 1cm lipstick tubes.....light green, cant really see in them yet, but it doesnt look like the normal growth compared to the rest of them.

I feel like taking the mommy plant and shoving her hard into the water....Bloom ^@%#$#^@^@&

Just had to vent.....thank you......***phew**
