I have haemanthus (albiflos?) seeds for trade, which are pretty cool. These are actually either corms or bulbils, not seeds, 7mm translucent and you can see a green protoleaf inside ready to go. Anyone else like some? If you would like to trade a small drac offset or sauromatum offset, I can send extra postage. Contact me via my regular email shown on my GW page, and put the word 'SWAP' on the subject line so I know it's not spam. Thanks! --Rr

Hey dethcheez I dont have any of the seeds you are looking for but I did buy some exploding cucumbers from plant world. They look to be great fun for the unsuspecting visitor...lol. I could send you some if you like. Oh, and I have some cruel plant on order from the netherlands (i dont count it until I actually get the pakage, rather than a note from customs). Just let me know. Thanks!

There is really nothing wrong with your plants and over-all they look very healthy. There's definitely no disease or herbicide damage showing in any of your pics. Only the very last pic shows any discolorations at all and even those are minimal and just environmental. The bumps on the stem are normal and the stem curling and leaf rolling are just common physiological responses of the plants to stress - heat, over-watering, inconsistent soil moisture levels, over-fertilizing, etc. Identify the source of the stress and eliminate it and all the signs go away. Some varieties are more affected by it than others. You can search 'physiological tomato leaf roll' here for many discussions about it or Google it for even more info. Also Google 'adventitious roots' which are what the bumps turn into. I 'suspect' you are either shallow/frequent watering or over-watering since that is what the adventitious roots usually often indicate. Shallow frequent watering leads to stressed plants, leaf roll, and shallow water-dependent roots. Avoid it. Otherwise there is definitely no reason to pull the plant.

I haven't grown this plant but googling indicates that a common disease is powdery mildew. You wrote that the leaves are getting whiter. Rather than losing the green in the leaf, could the "white" be mildew on top of the leaf? Just in case, here's an article on the disease and ways to control/eliminate it. I saw pictures of a healthy plant and can certainly understand why you have it...it's a beauty. http://www.growingagreenerworld.com/controlling-or-eliminating-powdery-mildew/ June
