The winning entry at the Great Minnesota State Fair 2010 was this wonderfully grown Columnea sanguinea.
Note the darker patches that would be very visible if the leaves were viewed from the underside. These patches attract hummingbirds to the flowers which appear UNDER the leaves.
This is a really, really cool example of Petrocosmea rosettifolia. Note the spiral pattern of the leaves and the many rows of leaves. This is an exceptional plant.
Another Petrocosmea... 'Shortin' Bread'. One of the few hybrids developed so far in the Petrocosmeas.
You want a mini-Sinningia now, don't you? This is Ozark 'Rosey Cheeks'.
This is quite a bold color and great small plant that grows alongside your African violets. Ozark 'Blazing Embers'.
Apologies for not getting a good shot of the flower's face. Another nice plant, Ozark 'Pink Popcorn'.
