Tamiana was the first one of my new Chiritas to flower back in Nov 09
Hopefully all six will come through the winter and flower this year but they are such fragile little things.....they are recommended for people who haven't got the room for Streptocarpus - being just miniatures - we will see how they get on!!

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.

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!!)

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!!

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!
