Interesting collection you have there.

I was recently given a Cym Hiroshima too, can't wait for Spring to see it.

Wow you're really collecting a lot of plants, didn't take long for the addiction to kick in.

Nice healthy looking plants.

Thanks Guys

Yes, me, Ebay and internet shopping are quite good friends. I have always loved Cyms and quirky/unusual looking Aussie plants. Which as it turns out so did my Grandfather, whom sadly I never got to meet or heard of him until my late 20s but gardening was one of his better traits that I like to think I inherited, if nothing else.

Miniature fits in with my quirky theme and I am not quite sure if the new growth on the Hiroshima is leaf or flower but more likely to be leaf as it is only a baby still so I might have to wait till next season .

Most of my chids are only babies (50mm pots) but having looked at them this morning there are quite a few that I will have to repot very soon as some have taken off and the pots are misshapen. Mostly in the Den.
I will post some pics later.

Thank you all for your encouragement, I do appreciate it.

Oh Koshki you are so funny There is a saying in my quilting world that says "She who dies with the most fabric wins" which we should use "The one who dies with the most CHIDS wins" are you up for the challenge Although I must admit fabric is a lot easier to hide than Chids..

A nice haul. I don't know anything about dockrillia but they look neat. And that one is so tiny. Very cool.
