Hey thanks for the tip on the light needs, Ray. I will move the plant. Lots of people have traded plants. In fact there is an "exchange" page to this forum, link on the main page. I traded away all my Vandas a couple years ago and was quite happy with the experience. I've got a ton of stuff I want to trade but in my case, I mostly want Angraecoids in return, and they're not that common. Plus once people get some, they tend to become favorite plants and thus not trade fodder. So i'm pretty well stuck with my Onc. species and Paph hybrids and NOID phals. :( Andy has some nice Angs. He has Amesiella monticola which everyone should have. He has an amazing selection of cloud forest types, i.e. Masdies, Dracs, Lepanthes, Barbosellas, Scaphs, etc. etc. I'd be shocked if anyone couldn't find at least four or five plants to order. That place is pretty much nirvana for species snobs. -MB

I am seeking SEEDS from the following Campanula :- - C. punctata - C. latifolia - C. bellardii - C. pusilla - C. lactiflora - C. persicifolia - C. portenscharskyana - C. portenschlagiana Thank you so much :):)

Hi Mike! Glad to see you back on the forums. I've got a few Gesneriads to trade - my seed from Brazil Plants has germinated, and one of the species is blooming now. This is Sinningia eumorpha 'Saltoa', not quite a mini since it is supposed to get up to 30 cm, but a nice species. Here's a link to the website with an image and more info - http://www.brazilplants.com/gesneriaceae/sinningia/sinningia-eumorpha-s.html Also have quite a few Gloxinella lindeniana coming along, though they are not near blooming size yet. This should be a smaller species, around 15 cm. Nice foliage. Here's the link - http://www.brazilplants.com/gesneriaceae/e-m/gloxinella-lindeniana.html I also ordered Chirita tamiana seed, but since all the tiny seed drifted when I sowed it, I'm not sure which of the other seedlings it is yet. I can tell the Gloxinella lindeniana because of the foliage, but not the Chirita yet. Anyway, let me know if you're interested in the other two! Also, if you happen to decide to place an order for anything from Brazil Plants, I'd be interested in joining in and splitting shipping with you. There's more stuff there I'd like to try for sure!

Hi Mairzy. Unfortunately a massive earthquake hit the east of Turkey yesterday. I am fine (living just on the boards of Istanbul)but as just reported by authories, 217 people were killed, 1090 people were injured and 366 people is waiting to be rescued for now.. God help them since the temperature in this area is around 0 degree Celcius and snow is expected... Eilen, well 10 is greater than 0! I am sure you will be surprised how creative you can be to find more space for Hoyas, as you are being more and more addictive to them :) Thinking vertically is always useful to gain some space in small apartments (mine is only 65 meter square!) Remember shelves which are my favorite furniture :) Nothing to do with climate, but in another forum, I coincided a man who is very very successful to bloom many hoya species and living in Vermont.
