Chirita Tamiana - (miniature) Streptocarpus

Oh, Alzheimer...you've taken my heart...:) I like these plants and going to buy some ones for my mother as a present...She loves Gesneriaceae...

Head for dear old Dibley then, Uma - they have nice little collections!!
It is where I got my little lot....no idea how well they will do but they are very cute - but very fragile...lol
Here's the link ,folks for Dibleys

Yes, they are so cute...
Thanks for the site, but they are only able to supply within the EU...We have here many private growers having great collections.

I did wonder about that once I had written it Uma...but glad you have nearby suppliers...ENJOY! And we will be watching for some nice pics....yes!!

Oh, I have little free space for these ones...actually NO space...:) That's for my Mum...

That's why my ones are up on that wall Uma!! I ran out of space too - even in my sitootery (garden room!!)

:) On the wall you have much space! :) For more plants...:)

Don't tempt me, Uma!!!

Oh Altz I've only just calmed down from the last strepto session and here you go again ! :)) This one is gorgeous too,the leaves are totally different.

Hi there Aster...yes - we have suddenly developed quite a following for these charmers haven't we! No idea how these tiny ones will do - a bit of an experiment for me - as they seem to be a cross between a Strepto and an African Violet!!! Flower of the Strepto but furry leaves like an AV...but then of course they ARE related...LOL They are very fragile little things - not at all sturdy like a Strepto and will be prone to botrytis I should think if not watched like a hawk!

Looks very healthy here :) I think I over watered my AV's when I had them,that is many moons ago and there are so many more colours to choose from now..........
Oh dear,no I'm not going to try again lol :))

Go on Aster - be a devil!!

:)))

Lovely little flowers.

don't know how I missed this one, its a beauty

Yes - she was ever so sweet...but she has gone dormant again now.....I will start to feed them up soon and that should help a bit - hopefully!

Im delighted to see this strep. Alz...I have had this one for about 4 years, but never knew which variety...thank you very much.....:>)

Oh Motinot...isn't that good! So pleased my little pic helped!
Also pleased to hear that they can last 4+ years - they seem such fragile little things compared with their big cousins - the sturdy Streptos!
