These are very fullfilling. White veining MT, purple undersides and the leaves are a bit felted. Its really stunning full flower, the pink can equal the green, but this one need a good cut to get stimulate another good flowering. Just a few at a time these days. It'll go year round with a little maintainance.

Is this related to the African violet or Streptocarpus?

Similar flower to streptocarpus, a long trumpet. But its leaves are very thin and the plant a little more woody. It seeds at every bloom as well, I don't know strepocarpus to be so prolific. I can't seem to google any information about any relation either. Maybe tasteyg :-)

What a very attractive plant. Such a soft green and is the centre "skeleton" silver?
