Petrocosmea rossetifolia, holy cow!

Gesneriad society member Bill M. sent us a couple of rather impressive shots of this Petrocosmea rosettifolia. Grown by Julie H., it's a wonderfully large and perfectly grown specimen.

You can see by the ruler that it's over 6 1/2 inches across the top surface too!

There is a mathematical relationship to how the plant's leaves are positioned. You might note that it reminds you of how pine cones look also.

These are very interesting plants to grow. They require cooler temps. than some gesenriads and very good drainage. They can be propagated by leaves like an African violet too. That makes it easy to get more to share with friends!
