For a plant I kind of did not like in the beginning, this one certainly has grown on me. The whole plant is in bloom now, there must be at least 50 flowers on it. And even though the flowers are not showy, I have really come to like them as well. This is close up pic of a couple flowers standing right up on my Aeschynanthus Longicaulis. All of the flowers on this plant seem to stand straight up, rather than hang down.
My pink African Violet babies are almost ready to be potted up on their own. Some of the leaves are close to dime sized now......this seems to be a good size when separating the babies. I don't know where I am going to put them, since my light stand is almost full right now. I gave 5 or 6 AV babies to my neighbor so I could start making space for the new babies, I am thinking I will have to get rid of a few more to make room. I think the pink variegated foliage is so pretty looking. I believe this one is supposed to have single pink blooms, so the foliage will be just as showy as the flowers.

Nice pictures! Those are very interesting flowers on your Aeschynanthus Longicualis plant! Where did you get your Pink AV from? I've been thinking about/looking for one but have been unable to find one...
I believe I got the pink AV from either Home depot or Walmart......it was in really rough shape when I got it. I had to cut a bunch of leaves off, so of course I laid them to root. AV babies are so easy. Send me an email when the weather warms up and I will send you a leaf and you can make babies all on your own.....lol. Seriously though, give me a shout, I will send you one.
I love your blog. I found it by accident when I was lookin for the name of a plant I purchased several years ago - and still alive!
Could you tell me its name? It is picture number 29 of your photos.
I shall appreciate it.
