Have agree with Carol and Becky. Great to have someone post pics as our season ends.

There must be someway of getting cuttings from Australia. Will they fit in a pair of socks Smiling

I would think getting plants from Australia would be easier than sending plants to Aussie gardeners/hybridizers?

Thanks everyone,
Unfortunately due to the influence of drugs,bombs etc: these days it's very hard to sneak things out and impossible to get anything in here.
Pink Elegance is from the same seed pod as Karen Michelle. Both good I reckon.
Yes it is good to see pics of epis when yours are not blooming.
Also good to see many keen growers on this site.I was previously posting on Epiforums for years but unfortunately due to no interest it has closed. It had the best gallery of epi pics.
Won't be long and I'll be posting pics here so stay tuned!

The season maybe ended but the tips of new growth are so pretty on my Jesse's Jewell. Reds and yellows. Hope this is not something is missing :-0

How do you sell or pass on your rooted Epi's?

Hi Marica,
Sounds like you have some nice new growth coming on you plant which I presume is this one.
I have not seen it although I have Space Rocket and once had Gallant knight. (Both good epis).
Don't forget to post a pic when it blooms.

'Jesse's Jewel' - DO 1994 Innermost petals red with
magenta edge. Next row solid deep blood red.
Outer petals burgundy. Double, bell shaped
form. Flat thick growth. {XL} 'Space Rocket' x
'Gallant Knight'. Reg. #11562

Yes that is it, and it is a night bloomer of good size. The color in the new growth is a nice bonus.
it bloom at Christmas but the pic was lost when my computer died.
