There were 38 'other gesneriads' in the African Violet Show at HarMar last Friday and Sat.
Lots of Petrocosmeas, and larger ones this year.
Five plants of Sinningia leucotricha, plus S. cardinalis, S. cardinalis 'Innocent' [white flowered form], S. iarae and S. pusilla [a micro-sinningia]. And Sinningia hybrids. A couple Kohlerias, good to see since we had the Year of the Kohleria back in 2008. And seven or eight Streptocarpus. Some Chiritas, including a yellow flowered one in bloom. A very good show!
We will be having a program on Petrocosmeas at an AGGSTC meeting later this spring. This was presented at the GS convention last year in Washington, DC by Tim Tuttle.
