Not to get nasty...not my usual nature, but I often wonder if people actually READ prior responses in the order presented. I appreciate some topics can get rather lengthy and we read the first portion and "jump" to the end but what reason would you offer when something is short and sweet for not reading the entire content????? I, for one, enjoy reading followup comments and making some kind of intelligent addition, well at my age sometimes not too intelligent....

Sinningia! Whuddathot. I've sworn off gesneriads so that's kind of a relief. I'll just ogle yours from here on, Kara. Here are some of mine (fall and spring growers) finally out of the basement. Aloinopsis schooneesii; I'm showing you guys the ugly side because this is the spot I've had to remove pieces from to stop a spreading rot. That gave me two smaller clumps and it did stop the rot. No guts no glory, I guess. Here is one clump, now two years old and still buried. I think I may have given the other one away, or it fell into a corner somewhere, never to be found. And from left, Othonna euphorbiodes, Othonna clavifolia and Tylecodon ventricos (this one needs a butt-load of sun in winter). And, below---really not fat yet, but it will be someday! I really like starting small. This one used to be taller but a Catzilla incident cut down the main trunk. Fortunately, it's crazy easy to root. Tylecodon buchholzianus My summer growers are still indoors.

There are still a few TC blooms today... This white TC is a little messed up because of my kitten. I took this photo a couple days ago, all excited that I finally had Easter Cacti blooms. A couple hours later, I heard a crash, and saw that my kitten had knocked it over and ate the blooms. I still love her, Iol. I recently got a cotyledon orbiculata pig's ear, love the shape. (I keep any could be toxic plants high up away from the kitten). I got to enjoy this spectacular cacti bloom, it's now with wonderful Mike. Yesterday had my first Magnolia bloom. This is 'Jane.' Not mine, but too pretty not to share, I stumbled upon this while out, 'Alexandrina' Magnolia. I LOVE finding mature magnolias in bloom :) -Nancy

Nothing too showy, Ceropegia Woodii flowering Euphorbia Millotii flowering and finally starting to branch. Oh yea and Jathopha Cathartica blooming again..... I must be doing something halfway right lol.
