Senk) |
Bugs! |
| Dangerous (Sorano)
While not in bloom (they are a strong dark
pink) this plant is nice for its symmetry. It is also very small--it
is in a one inch pot.
This plant has done something very
interesting. I cut off it's head to get a few good suckers--and the
second picture is what happened.
I tossed mine. Gave one to my aunt,
and it is doing well in her window. |

Killed with neglect.
Yikes! |
| Nymph Fly (Dates)
Not as robust as a similar plant that I had, decided to toss it during the
bug infestation.

| Optimara
EverGrace (Holtkamp) |
Got bugs...wasn't
important enough to keep. Fall 2007 |
| Rob's Hand Puppet
(Robinson) It was pretty, but chronically a problem. I just got
tired of this one. |

| S. ionatha |
Bugs! My
grandma has a plant, maybe I'll take a start. |

| Unknown "Library"
I rescued this one from the library break
room. Turned out that the owner had retired years before. I was
the only one that watered it--so I took it with me when I graduated.
When it first bloomed for me, it was much
different than this. First blooms resembled S. ionatha. By
second bloom, this is what I had. It really confused me at the time.
I really miss this plant! It was a
good companion. If I had paid more attention, it would have been fine.

Chirita tamiana
Lost to bugs--I really miss this one too.
I had a bunch of them in a bonsai pot together and they were very pretty.

Petrocosmea minor |
struggled with this one a
lot...didn't want to continue. Might try another petrocosmea again.

Sinningia cardinalis
Just didn't like it as much as others.
Prefer fibrous to bulb plants. |
