Streptocarpus 'Merle'

well done you ~ thats a beauty.

You could have seen it for real yesterday, sob, sob.

i know now!! but actually it was on monday 8th august ~ been a bit hectic here so took a while to do the blog ~ sorry.

Ah - a while ago. Merle only opened up on Friday.

It's very nice at Cannington - I donate my flowerpots to them! ;-)) They put Open Garden posters up for us, too.

thats a good arrangement.

Gorgeous - the markings on it are lovely.

Very nice Spritz!

It's the best one so far, but there are more yet to flower. :-)

This is amazing close up.

Thanks. I'm enjoying seeing what colour the flowers are from each 'baby'. :-)

Now that I have a greenhouse perhaps there will be an increase in my gesneriad collection...this is an amazingly beautiful bloom.

Thats lovely. I have one very similar called Dainty Lady. The markings on yours are slightly darker.

I've got rather a large collection now, Cinders - too large - but my plant stall will benefit, won't it! There's one with a very intriguing name - 'Black Panther' and the bud is opening very deep purple! :-))

I have that one too. The stems get rather long I find on that one, and they tend to fall or bend over.

Thanks - I'll try to be ready for it!

Just going to put a picture up of Black Panther.

That's stunning, Spritz! :o)

Thanks. It's my favourite - so far! :-)

Beautiful...

:-) 'Black Panther' will be next!
