Wow, this trade is such a cool idea for african violets! Does it include streps or gesneriads? Don't count me in although I would love to. I have 3 violets, only one is named (Optimara Hawaii), the other 2 are NOIDS. My only affordable resources are my local stores. Lowe's and Meijers in my city. Mail order is quite above my budget at this time. BUT that is why trading and exchanging is soooo awesome! I love this site and the posting and pics!!! Take a look at my trade list! I will trade for Violet/Strep leaves or plantlets!!!! If I ever build up my violets again I will sooooo be in on this!!!!~~~Rosie

Well, Stacie, if I got it, it would be a miracle as well, LOL. Besides, I figure I will be the last one to get a package anyway. But I'll be watching our for who gets yours...and hoping they are childbearing age, LOL. Sherry

Okay, I'm still waiting for that other swap box to be delivered. It must either be coming from or going to Lisa in Germany, I think. Otherwise I think it would have been delivered by now! Anyway, that is my current guess. Is Colleen playing? If so, then it could be to or from her. I received a package in one swap that was sent via a slow boat from Japan, and it was more than well worth the wait! Lars

Yea! Your plant looks very nice! Be sure to post a picture of the blooms for us when they open. I have a Haworthia fasciata blooming now, too. It's sprawling across a couple of other plants, including an Aloe 'Firebird' that is in bloom. The sun is higher in the sky now and it is no longer protected from full sun. It's getting a little crispy on the tips, so I'd better move it before it gets too bad.
