Closer Blooms of Streptocarpella


Closer Blooms of Streptocarpella (streptocarpella)

Not so clear, but a nice little bunch of these blue blooms. This is very rewarding with enough light.

I think the leaves are stealing the show here, with their rich variety of hues.

Thanks. The leaves did get all the focus. It's a lovely plant even with out blooms. Thick and velvety.

Thanks. Many of these little bunches now. This one looks like its weeping blue after a while. I love it. :"-)

That is a beautiful plant GT. Come down to Vancouver at the end of June and show it at the International Gesneriad Society Convention.

That would be wonderful Gilli. I'm out of work so I won't be travelling, but it would be great to bring my big ones to something like that. My big mini AV is budding up now too.

This will be the first Gesneriad convention that I've been to GT. Too bad that you can't make it. It would have been nice to meet you face to face. I'm hoping to pick up some unusual plants while I'm there....and learn some useful information about growing them!! I'll take some photos so that you can see what you missed. :oD

It would be nice. Take lots of pics. The layoff was very out of the blue. I'm just holding it together. But hopefully better opportunity follows the bad luck. :-)

I'm so sorry to hear about your layoff. I hope something comes up for you very soon. When a door closes, usually a window opens onto something else. Good luck with your search. x

Thats my hope Gilli. Thank you. I know I'll be putting in the biggest garden I ever have. :-) And trying seeds this year.
