Hello From Mac's!

I am currently standing in George McDonald's growing room, birth center of the lovely Mac's series of mini and semimini African violets!

George invited us to visit so he could give me a few plants to use as leaf stock for the Fuzzy Foliage AVSA promotion!

Exciting things are underway here. George is working hard making some new *trailing* Mac's varieries!
Check out the big fat seed pods on the plant in the 1st pic... Future Mac's in the making, how cool is that?
In the 2nd pic are three of his new trailers. One with tiny variegated longifolia, and two with tiny variegated girl foliage! The 3rd pic is him holding a tray with more new trailer babies..

Time to go now, our Central Jersey African Violet Society meeting is tonight and we're having an "Awful Plant Show" meeting, where everyone brings their badly neglected plants for a good laugh. Should be fun!

  3. Hi Ron, nice to "meet" you! Thanks for following and I will definitely check out your blog.

    Idoru--Oh yes, you should give into the temptation! George donated 3 AWESOME hybrids to the cause! Mac's Voodoo Yoodoo, Mac's Pinch O' Pink, and one of my very faves, Mac's Walkabout Uluru!
