Nice list, thanks! I have a dog, so the indoor plants I have are nontoxic: an african violet, a nontoxic fern, culinary herbs in hubby's Aerogarden, and a goldfish plant (which I love!! It is so cool looking.) Used to have a Persian violet which was fabulous and fragrant-- smelled great for about 2 months, but it eventually finished flowering, sickened and died. It was replaced by the goldfish plant.

I have cosmos seeds, echinacea yearling plants in purple and white, anise hyssop seeds, peach and white fox glove seeds, black eyed susan seeds, rudbeckia seeds, delphinium seeds. Looking for pink ruffled, white ruffled or blue ruffled african violets, streptocarpus and perrenial violet plantlets. Please respond here. I am not getting emails directly. Thanks!

Where are you located? I'm in Toronto, mind, the only red named variety I have is rob's slap happy, which hasn't bloomed yet, and a few leaves rooting of decelles flamingo. The one chimera I have (and plenty of it) is pixie runaround sport. I know someone in Toronto as well who may have more reds. Let me know if you're interested. Karin

I began gardening about 8 years ago, starting with annuals, rose bushes, expanding to Gailardias, Daylilies, Hydrangeas and Coneflowers.. I'm not quite there but my garden is almost established. I thought I had an edge having the net, which I did, but I never expected it would take 8 years to get to the place I wanted to be. My grandfather without any electronic resources and a far larger garden and upkeep fared better than I ever will. He's what sparked my interest and I marvel especially being in his 70's what he mastered. I don't have that green thumb and as much stamina as I have, I can never accomplish what he did. It's challenging, it's a hobby I thought I'd 'never' explore but I found it to be very rewarding. In the winter months we allow for extra spending but I couldn't think of anything but getting more African violets and chocolate :) I began AV's last spring, I think. The winter months were always daunting and I quickly realized that African Violets can give me joy all year round. My husband also tolerates my hobby and surprisingly helped me in the garden last year. Only he needs to understand that the leaves on roses shouldn't be saturated during watering and you don't just dig a hole and plant.. Hopefully he'll forgive my criticism and give me a helping hand next year. I actually think he sort of likes it ;) Thanks for the help, happy holidays!
