AV Book Class...moved?

feeds@yuku.com (walton521) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 15:21:17 GMT

I've been trying to find the Book Discussion thing that was going on a while ago. Seems like it was a class that included reading assignments using an old AV book. It was going on last year, I think...already underway about the time I decided to try AV's again. Am I losing my mind? :)

Can't find it...was it one of the test sites or the MSN site before final shut down?
(Seems like it was the African Violets book by Helen Van...

So I'm taking the challenge and here is my idea...

New Project Idea - Growing Vendor Supplied Plants

moss. Two leaves are rotting from the stem and will never produce babies. The other two leaves both have babies. I...

TIME FOR A COUNT DOWN

feeds@yuku.com (Nancy) — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 17:39:56 GMT

How many members have planted seed recently. Lets get a report so that the next report will be when you first see little mouse ears above the soil.

I admit I'm slow myself. I am waiting to find sphragram moss and it's not to be found. This is for Pinguicula seeds--the bug eating plant.
