Opening new season

 

Looks like I'm speaking to myself in this topic. Probably, no need to keep this on top of the list...

 

Will not bother you too much . Only a couple of new varieties I liked - Sandra and Lisica:

 

@Alisa - I really like the darker one of the two!

 

Alisa,

Very nice.

I was at a RHS show a few weeks ago, and Dibley's had a stand.
They always have a fantastic range.

 

Alisa - absolutely fabulous - only just seen this thread.

 

Wow! These are gorgeous. I especially like Jan-Kapriz and Bristol's Psychedelic Sun.

 

Some of my Achimenes.
Purple


White


Ambroise Verschaffelt

 

Very nice Nigel

@Alisa your African Violets are stunning!

I've just started out with African Violets after being tempted in Poundland recently! someone on one of the Facebook groups very kindly helped me ID them as Holtkamp/Optimara hybrids! I was so happy as I just assumed that they wouldn't be identifiable because of how many there are...



'Optimara Chico'


'Optimara Mississippi'


'Opitmara Colorado II'?


'Optimara Texas'


'Rhapsodie Scarlet'


and I've gone and ordered another 10 leaves from a lady in Germany which I can't wait to arrive!

• Optimara My Love
• Mac's Black Jack
• 8E Slightly Haunted
• РС-Триумф: RS-Triumf
• РС-Танец Огня: RS-Tanets Ognia
• Humako Jasmine
• LE-Polina Viardo
• Painted Silk
• 8E Scheele's Green
• Vampire's Kiss

 

Good luck with the leaf cuttings! Keep us updated on their progress.

 

Will do

I've got to re-pot the ones I bought from poundland first though, take off all the flowers and suckers and then also put down a couple of leaves of each to be safe and then clean off most of the soil and plant up into new pots, I don't want to potentially start off with hitchhikers if I can help it
