David I was referring to the yellow in the leaves...I just realize that title of your post says Yellow striped...duh, I wasn't paying attention. Here is photo of one I have (hope you don't mind me posting on your thread). It was tiny pup growing off all green when I bought it in Feb. 2012, and have grown quite well since. It is growing pup of its own now. Btw, I am really not sure if it is same var. since mine was ID-ed as Haworthia subattenuata variegata. But I wonder, since I don't see much yellow on mine? (Maybe just growing conditions?) see here Your collection is really nice, I like the plants you are getting. Rina This post was edited by rina_ on Thu, Nov 13, 14 at 22:22

such a thrill to find scapes, and a real good thing to find them on new ones. Marseilles Watercolor seems to be an early bloomer. It is scaping here, too. I remember it reblooming last year. I am also scape hunting and will take notes so that I can group together the early bloomers. So excited here that some 2-year old seedlings are scaping for the first time. Ben

A few from my gardens - many annuals, and a lot of things on their last legs. Aster 'Starlight' - I think the seeds were from Gil. "Black" hollyhocks: Calendula: Gaillardia: Gazania: Heliopsis: This is a really pretty hardy oxalis that I bring in over the winter. I always keep it in a container - there's a yellow one that's terrorizing all the flower beds this year. Mums: Sedum 'Frosty Morn':

Jen, WOW..WOW..WOW.. 2 posts in a row lol. Your on a roll, you must be on vacation, or maybe since your babies are getting ready for their naps you have more time lol... J/K ;P I was told by an importer and seller of Thai plumies, that no plumie in Thailand is an exclusive as there is so much theft as most of the growing fields are acres and acres of land, in some cases over 40 plus acres. Even if someone like JJ or Kukiat has a seedling that blooms that they own, a worker/random person/even friend of the owner may steal/get a branch or the whole plant. That is why you see so many plumies that are supposedly exclusive 1 of a kind plumies, being sold by another seller or a few from Thailand selling them on Ebay and other places and with different names. Example is Fireblast being imported and sold by BBB this season on Ebay, there is also another seller from Thailand that sells it for under 20.00 under a Thai name, not Fireblast. This seller sells legit items as I have bought from them in the past and has been on Ebay forever. A friend of mine bought hers 2 yrs ago or so from this seller in Thailand and her FB bloomed true for the past 2 seasons. With Thai Peach it was a JJ's exclusive in Thailand. Per John the Mother tree was either lost/stolen or destroyed. Since 2005, I have seen a few Thai Peaches being sold on Ebay from Thailand, but not sure it is the same as plumie photos from there look different than the ones grown here. All I know is that Sonia did more to market, sale/distribute JJ's Thai Peach than anyone else. In 2005 Sonia bought out all the Thai Peachs from John that she could find (5gal multi tipped plumies for 55.00 back then from JJ's). Sonia then resold the Thai Peach's and cuttings to other people. Thats how I got mine in 2005 (5gal was about 4ft, multi tipped) along with the Morgan's and many in the Inland Empire area. Sonia also sold stuff on Ebay, so I am pretty sure the one Lopaka has is from Sonia aka JJ's variety. As for Brads I am not sure if that is one of JJ's/Sonia's Thai Peaches. Sonia actually got the name Thai peach from the Thai Ebay sellers in 2005 as it looked like their TP, Sonia in the early years helped John with a few names for his plumies like Golden Ray, Thai Peach, Big Red and others. Since Thai Peach was a good seller and Sonia and other bought out Johns (jjs) inventory, John went to Thailand to replenish his inventory he stated that he could not find the Mother tree of TP. So since John could not replenish TP, and did not even have one for himself, what ever is currently being sold privately and @ Plumie Society sales are most likely recirculated JJ's TP from people who had it or got it from Sonia or a few who had it still. I gave a bunch of large multi tipped cuttings to Irene Jones a few years back as my tree blew over and had all these branches break. I do know that Irene was selling some at the SD Plumie Society sale recently. So again do not know if Brads is the same as JJ's. So as of current Thai peach is not commercially avail, so you will never see it at Lowes or HD. PHEW.... That was a long one..lol Hope that answered your question regarding Brads TP..lol Laura Thanks for the compliments. Cheers y'all
