HAVE: Phal Summer Beach keiki

I'm in Reno, NV, consolidating a very small collection.

Free to a good home, preferably nearby (I'm not practiced at mailing plants - would rather have it picked up or I'd deliver) I would like to give away a little Phal Summer Beach Keiki. I received a 4" pot Summer Beach with a spike, but (I discovered) it didn't have the roots to support the spike, and bit by bit, the buds blasted, and the leaves began to die back, despite my best efforts - repotting with rooting hormone, etc. As a last gasp I guess, a keiki started on the stub of the spike. It has now been repotted - parent gone... :-( , has about 4 roots up to 3 - 4" long, 3 leaves, longest not quite 2 inches. The leaves are reddish, as were those of the parent. It's been 2 years, and I don't think I can make this little plant happy.

Anyone near Reno interested?
