Comments (0)Willing to pay postage, but looking forward to the day that I can offer cuttings myself.... I've been recently bit hard by the gardening bug, and can't wait to add to my little "family". I really get so much out of learning about/caring for them....See Morepink polka dot flowering?
Comments (10)I think your blog is first rate. I have to go on record here...I ***hate*** pink polkadot plant. I know you guys are using it as a houseplant, but you can plant it out here, and if you do (like I did) its a huge mistake. It starts out nice, stays tame for a bit, then by the end of summer, its all over the place and gets a huge spread. Each branch can and does re-root as it falls on the ground and thus the plant can take over huge areas very fast when you aren't paying attention (like I am frequently not). To add insult to injury, when it blooms, it seeds and you get pink polkadot coming up in places you never wanted it in. I planted it in a bed in 2002 and am still trying to eradicate it, 6 years later....See Moreneed ID on milk? pitcher of woman with pink polka dots dress
Comments (9)The picture linked below is not the same pitcher as you showed a picture of. I have 2 figural female pitchers, but they are not Aunt Agnes, one is Little Nell and I forget about the other. I believe there was more to go with your pitcher...perhaps bowls? maybe a mug? I have searched and can only find one refrence to an Aunt Agnes pitcher and that is some dealer saying she thinks she remembers seeing somt thing about Aunt Agnes in a price guide. Not good enough. I'll keep this in mind and see if anything else shows up. Linda C Here is a link that might be useful: Aunt Agnes...See MoreMy polka-dot plant has a flower!
Comments (2)Mr Blurbs, I am delighted with it. It has practically doubled in size since I bought it the beginning of Nov. I am careful not to over-water it. It may be in my caution to not over-water, I am under-watering - one garden person told me the falling leaves off the bottom of stem indicates under-watering. But as I said, I'm not worried, bec. the overall plant is gorgeous. I have it by a north window, I have a grow light for supplemental lighting for some of my plants, but polka-dot indicated she does not want to be too close to that lamp, bec. the stems veered back away from it. So I keep her on the edge of the light....See MoreTiffany, purpleinopp Z8b Opp, AL
