I got a shock today when I say "today's plant" was an AV, of the genus Streptocarpus. Saintpaulia is now bumped to "synonym," and Streptocarpus is the accepted name. When did that happen??

Admittedly, it's been a long time since my windowsills were full of AVs and I had hundreds of babies on an upstairs light stand, but still.

Life is settling down, and I'm getting better again at keeping house plants alive. Picked up 2 mini AVs at a nursery during the holidays. That's how "it" started many years ago, with "just 2!" AVs. Smiling
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
