    Wow, thats never happened before! No one been on all night?
    Hi Nev, you posted just before me yesterday. I potted up some of the large seedlings from you, yesterday, and took some photos. I think i will be planting them out in the garden, as they will be quite large I think.
    On thursday, I repotted all my Cryptanthus in African violet mix. I only have four varietes, C. bivattatus, C. 'Ruby' (thanks Jen), C. 'Lime Frost' (yawn) and C. Osyrus, which is a beauty. It will be interesting to see how they do.
    I also potted a heap of pups that I removed when transporting all the plants home.There are still several left to pot, as well as about 20-30 Aechmea blanchettiana pups. My concern is.....where to put them?
    Have fun at your sale today, Wendie.
    Trish, enjoy your weeken at home.
    Shirley, I hope the weather is kind to you, and you find a bargain while out brom shopping.
    Ian, I'm still checking that seed, and it is almost ripe!
    Happy gardening all, and hello to Karen, Jen, Tash, Jean and any lurkers looking in.
