Lucky Me - first post in a few years?

I know it's been a long time since I've posted here but I've had a lot of stuff going on and I lost most of my plants as a result.  I'm getting back into the swing of things and Lucky Me is one of the plants that I've found again for my collection.  If I could only grow 10 plants or less, this would be on that list. Lucky Me is one of the most gorgeous violets, in my opinion. I'll be putting a couple leaves down this afternoon to ensure that I don't lose it because it's one of the extremely rare ones. I hope to grow this one for the rest of my days. <3

Lucky Me (6298) 06/30/1986 (J. Domiano) Double orchid/darker mottling, variable purple edge. Light green, plain, glossy. Large (DAVS 942)

 

New leaves!

Yes, I said it was too cold but a fellow collector convinced me that it was ok to ship as long as proper insulation was used, so...

I now have the following in my collection (and will be adding this to my list on the previous blog):

Red Velvet Cake
Spanish Moss
Picasso
Allegro Watermelon Ruffles
B-Man's Etna
Red Lion

They'll be put down in the next day or so.

There was also another starter of Tiger since mine isn't doing well.  This one is remaining in a plastic bag and I'll gradually introduce it to the dry air here in Colorado.  I didn't even think about acclimatizing the last one and so it's now in intensive care.

Thank you, Dave!
