Thanks Greg!

I used to grow a bunch of AV's, Chirita's and a few Sinningia but my plants ended up suffering from lack of care due to me having to travel a lot. I finally dismantled the light shelves and slowly got away from Gesneriads ... except for the couple of little half-dead Sinningia's that are hanging on. I also still have two miniature Chirita tamiana (shown below) that I've had for @ six years now. They still bloom a couple of times a year even with my lack of care.

JB: I know there used to be an avid group of Gesneriad growers on the Daves Garden website and I believe someone from there started a Yahoo group, which may be the group you were referring to in your earlier post. I remember one of those folks grew Chimera African Violets quite well but I don't remember her name. There were a few very knowledgeable growers in that group so I know you will get good advice and I hope you have great luck with propagating your Chimeras!
