Here is a S. macrostachya (probably) that is trying to make a tuber further up it's stem?
It has a relatively good size tuber from where the stem emerges. Where the branching starts (for the main stems), it's getting a swollen base that doesn't touch the soil. This type of Sinningia is reported to get a "perennial" woody base", but this looks a little diffrent.
Here are all the reproductive parts from the flower below. It's supposed to be a Sinningia cardinalis 'Innocent'. Some of the pure whites didn't turn out really all that white. This is a lovely delicate shade of the lightest pinkie color. It's certainly not it's red parent's color!
I am going to guess it shows it's albinism partially, like my backyard squirrels do. Not all of them are "all white" although they aren't the regular gray and brown either.
