Vikki, I asked for plantlets- because they bloom so much faster than leaves. :) I'm sending cuttings, leaves, so something tiny in exchange is fair. I don't expect a show size pizza violet for a primulina leaf, even though the primulina leaf might be hard to find/and variegated! I'll take any violet- I didn't realize that I grow way more other gessies than violets, until I started making up the baggies for the RR. I used to have only violets, until I started expanding! Now, I really don't have many violets. I lost some over the winter- and summer. Even though I try to keep the perfect temps, I lose more in the basement. I have a few stands in the utility room/lower level. And now- I just started a violet room, in a spare room! I'm excited, I have a feeling that the violets are going to do much better in a warmer room. So, I'm putting together stands upstairs. I previously grew everything in a solarium, I never lost any plants in that room. The humidity and light were perfect! But, I'm living in two places, so- I gave up that room for the 'other house.' My Mom died- so I have 2 places. Plugs are starters/little- those would be perfect. Or tiny plantlets... just taken off the mother plant are fine too. I can usually make anything grow. Deb

I might have some things to swap if you're interested. The only thing is that it'll be probably a month before it's warm enough here to send anything. It's 22 and snowing here today *sigh*. I have: Sinningia pusilla several NOID Sinnigia hybrids. I have no idea what color they are or what their parents are. They were given to me by someone who planted a bunch of eBay seeds and they haven't flowered for me yet. They hate it here. If I put them where there's enough light, my cats eat them. If I put them out of my cats' reach, there's not enough light. Other than my Sinningias and Aeschynanthus, they leave my plants alone. Alsobia dianthifloria--I have several nicely rooted plants I also have an Aeschynanthis radicans 'Rasta', a Columnea 'Merlot', and cuttings of a georgeous NOID Columnea with orange flowers that is almost always in bloom for me. With the exception of the cuttings, they're all nicely rooted. I don't know if you're interested in any of the bigger gessies or not, but I thought I'd mention it.

This plant must be one of the most named plants in the world! It seems like it is all of the above, except maybe the cuphea, it has lots of alternative names, very confusing. All these look like it .. Sinningia incarnata, Moussonia deppeana, Seemannia nematanthodes "Evita, Kohlaria .. It's very tough, it was formerly growing in a thick mat, then got buried in mulch and disappeared and has just popped up again. Maybe I'll just call it Gesneriad and not bother about the specific name thank you
