This semi mini is an oldie but I cant find a date for it..Its Baker,supposed to be veragated.Ive only had it 3 weeks so Im hoping the veragation will become more noticable.
I put down lots of leaves since this came from a lady in my club who passed away..This was the only one left of Junie Moon..

Wow that is very nice. It is growing so compact that it almost looks like a Pet with AV flowers attached.

RE: Junie Moon

Marigene-

looks like you are the last one to have it.

Do you see at least some signs of variegation?

It possibly sported into green loooong ago - and the late club member maintained it as is.

Find the coldest spot - and stick it there. May be it will resurface the variegation.

Ive been keeping it in a cooler room since I got it and the new leaves are a little lighter yellow in the middle.I have a light stand in the basement and I will put it there after I have it a bit longer....I want to make lots of babies to share...:0)

RE: Junie Moon

Marigene -

I look at the description - and is says variegated - not what type of variegation.

I found the description on: http://www.harborcrestgardens.com/page1cat.htm

JUNIE MOON - Pink booms adorn fuzzy light Green miniature foliage.

So where the variegation went? may be it is a very subtle crown variegation - you just started to see.

So this is the famous Junie Moon the Barbara has been pining for... Now I see why she was so obsessed--That is AWESOME and now maybe I'll be obsessed too! (Especially since my birthday is in June--That makes it double awesome!)

RE: Junie Moon

Marigene,

I'm so glad you 'rescued' Junie Moon. It would have been so sad for it to have died out. With you sharing on the West Coast, and me sharing on the East coast, I predict a renewed popularity for this little beauty.

Thanks for taking such wonderful care of this beautiful plant.

Marigene it's gorgeous!
When the crown variegation comes through better the soft pink flowers will be a lovely combination! Love it!
Great your getting it back into circulation! I'll keep my eye out for one when AV web shopping.
I have a June B-day to boot.,,,Debbie
