Chirita 'Chastity' a gesneriad that grows big outdoors. (Chirita)

Its in a 16 inch pot and trails down past that. This relative of the African violet takes our winters fine. Needs protection from hot sun and snails. This plant is about 18 years old approximate.

It would. Kept smaller it would do as well on a window sill or by a window.

I do like the bloom colour, Stan. I like the trailing habit too.

It was out of a Logee's catalogue around 2001 or so Kate I ordered a 2" plant. Never had any idea it could grow so large or so old. I got lucky.
