I sell it on eBay and I never mention 'Ackermannii' in the name of it because so many people do not realize it is not a true Ackermanni and I know many people that use the Ackermanni name really do not have the true ackermanni. I can not bring myself around to misleading people in my stores. This plant was given to me by a friend who had it for years. It was twice the size when i got it and they had to cut it to get it into the house. I took the cuttings and gave it to my neighbor who has a country market and greenhouses and they propagated it and sold it in hanging baskets. It was beautiful the way they had them displayed. We trade plants and since I have mostly jasmine, Christmas cactus and a few tender perennials and I sell online only I have only one small greenhouse so I give them everything I do not have room for and they in return give me whatever I want. It is a wonderful arrangement. I keep them supplied with some of the jasmine the suppliers around here to not raise.

I am 85 and really not as full of energy that I once was, but I still keep on propagating and enjoying the fruits of my labor.

Thank you so much for your conversation. I appreciate all comments and suggestions. Have a great day, what is left of it. Lovey dubby
