Janice has some pretty exciting things to look at when she goes down to her plant room.
This is a lovely selection called Streptocarpus 'Neil's Gotcha'. Really striking flowers with ruffles and spots and a nice bold color.
Here's another lovely strep with just the right contrast between the leaves and the color of the blossoms.
This little Aeschynanthus humilis has been blooming for about four months. It seems to do well under lights and with a mat watering system for it.
Another pretty Strep with big bright flowers.
If purple is more your color there are some of them too!
This was a really eye catching bloom. Again, huge flowers and nicely contrasting leaves.
These little cute things are a Petrocosmea. They're Petrocosmea barbata.They stay quite small and as you can see have a center that is somewhat compact. The plants go through a cycle when just the tight center is left in the pot looking a bit like a pine cone. When conditions again are favorable (or the plant decides it's time) they send out the rest of the lovely lush leaves to make the small but rather dramatic rosettes which you see here.
This is one of the very pink Episcias. I think it's 'Pink Brocade'. What a beautifully grown and striking plant. I hope that Janice turns her back next time I'm lucky enough to see her collection and perhaps this one, tiny, small (well, large) bowl will mysteriously vanish off of the shelf!!!
Thank you very much to Janice for sharing the pictures with us! Comments??? Congratulations???
