Bletilla sp. and Prospenica palustris are doing well, and I should probably plant them. The rest are gone.

I've only got one left, the Aloe that she gave us. All the rest are dead. I haven't managed to try any other culturing since the workshop either. Been too busy with the other tanks/emersed setups.

My african violet sprouted green blobs a while back. It is just now starting to show some growth that looks leaf-like.

And the Bletilla orchid seeds are doing well.

Looking good!

My african violets look the same as yours - time to divide them up and put them in some fresh media.

My crypts are doing quite well. Especially my C. nurii and Lagenandra meeboldi. I'll post some pictures up soon.

I would of had more stems if I had them growing submersed!

My seeds never germinated. A few things just turned to mush after a few months, no mold, maybe a fungus got to them.

Amy really needs to post pictures of ours, but we've been pretty busy.

One of the jars with orchid seeds finally germinated, and we have lots of little plants growing. IIRC, the palustris has grown well, as has the banana and most everything else. No obvious mold on anything. One of the jars that had a ~1 cm piece of leaf cutting (I don't know what it was) never did anything but turn black, but I think everything else is growing, and probably needs to be divided.

I have been asked for high res pictures to put in the Aquatic Gardener as a follow up to the article about our class. Does anyone have pics they can send me or that they can take and send me?

Ben, PM me exactly what type of pictures you're looking for to complement your article. I can render out whatever resolution they need from my RAW source files.
