Achimenes (Indoor Plants)

I was just going to mow the lawn and as I got it all set up, down came the rain !! So I am stuck indoors again on this machine. So I thought better take some pictures of my Achimenes. This is the first year for having these, and with three rhizomes per pot I think they have done quite well. See what you think…

To me, they look like a cross between a streptocarpus and an indoor busy lizzie..they are lovely and I've never heard of them before. Well done, you may have started something Cinders!

To answer your question Val. They are on my large window sill. But at the moment what with orchids and Streptocarpus there isnt a space anywhere, they are even in the grate and the bathroom. I shall have to get rid of some soon.
Thanks Yorks.
Karen the flowers do look a little like Streps, but these make rhizomes, so when they finish flowering there should be dozens of little ones in the soil to pot up again for next year.
Pleased you like them S/L and Magna...

I haven't grown these for years. In fact I'd forgotten about them. They're beautiful with you Cinderella. I didn't know there were all these lovely colours. Now you've reminded me about them, I'll have to get some for next year.
