Gonzer, Thank you for the ID. It makes perfect sense because the plant is identical to my other T. ionantha plants except for the lack of a red blush.

Hello again, And thanks Pirate girl. :) It seems I may not have explained myself well enough. Not surprised, have a headache right now..ugh! Anyway, I wasn't wanting to seperate so to say, and if this is best left as a whole, than that's fine. when I do repot, I will just knock out the worst of the soil to the outer edge, I know it's not good to mix soils, and I was planning on going with something along the lines of the girtty mix. I don't have the heart to cut through it! lol! It's too beautiful. I know what your saying, i've divided plenty of mint over the yrs that way. :) What I really wanted to do is thin out some of what's swirled around the top, and rim where it's so packed and pale from not enough light. Was wondering the best way to do that without tearing up the majority of the plant. I'll leave the rootball as is for now and leave it in this pot and see how it goes. The biggest reason i was wondering about repotting, is it will be going from outside to inside and the soil it is in is obviously retaining quite a bit of water. I think I will try and get a few cuttings where I can see tubers on top and a little from around the edge. I was planning on it tonight, while I still have the house to myself and minimal interruptions. (have pets, lol)

Hi, I don't have any experience myself, but I know someone who might be able to help you. His name is Wu Jin and he lives in China. Here is his site: http://cliviawu.51dream.com/ Check out the photo gallery! He usually has lots of varigated and broad leaf types for sale at reasonable prices. FYI: He is very reputable (I have purchased from him directly as has many other people on the Clivia Enthusiast Yahoo chat group)and very knowledgable about Japanese and Chinese varigated / short leafed and dwarf type Clivias. Very nice guy. Hope he can help you. Jools : )

Barb...both happy and sad....Happy he is moving forward with his life. Knowing he will go far as long as he stays focused on his studies, and learns to quit being so wasteful. Sad because he is moving on and we will be seeing very little of him in the next 4 years or so. We havent made any new life adventures yet. House needs some TLC. I suppose first we will get used to having a home with just us and the critters and go from there. Chell I used to be a dog and cat groomer. I loved it too. But my employer was a deedeedee. Never had the money to pay me each week and always "owed" me. And she never gave me my tips either.Then at the end of the year she reported more earnings for me than what I had really made.Fortunitly I kept records and proved my case and won, so make sure you don't let the same happen to you. I have kept my clippers, blades and accessories and still will do a neighbors dog or two once in awhile to keep my skills up.....but don't miss the hair stuck in places I did'nt know existed....lol. Love all the pictures the everyone post. Always enjoy seeing ya'lls babies. Regina
