I have one Mini Blooming looks pink to me.



Have 2 more putting on Buds can't tell the color as yet.



Thank you so much Sarah I love them.

Also potted up 4 Nepenthes Alata cuttings I made last December Have one more almost ready and also a Nepenthes Gentile a friend gave me a cutting of last fall.

Also started 9 more leaf cuttings this morning. My mother ask me to bring some to her @ the Nursing Home in Logan.

That pink mini looks a lot in style like the Rob's Gundaroo I have, what is it called?  I think I need to add more mini's to my collection since the one I have is doing so well.

Triss according to my sticker I made from the names Sarah sent me it is Sticky Wicket.Penny, Triss glad you like it has a bunch more buds on it tonight.

They are looking great Jimmy! I'm glad they are blooming for you.

Triss, good eye for detail. Rob's gundaroo and Rob's sticky wicket are both from the same guy, and both trailing mini's.

Geesh, Jimmy, those are really cute. My mom always had African Violets, but I don't think I've ever seen mini ones before.    Good job!!!

Good to know Sarah, are there any others of that variety?  I really like the mini that I have and would love a few more of different colors if they are available.

This site explains them well, and is the original site that sold them, though they are by no means the only one who carries them:

Oh my goodness, that is so cool.  I want more of them.  I would just love a nice large container in full bloom like that only one with many different colors.  It would be prefect on the top of my desk.  I am going to have to keep my eye out for them or save to buy some from that site.

Oh another question... if I pinch mine back, it will branch out and then fill out more?  Both of the ones I have in the pot now seem to be on a single stem with no branching at all.
