This is Primulina bipinnatifida. A cool newer Primulina from East Asia/China. This plant and a very similar one, Primulina repanda, var. guilinensis (whose leaves smell incredible to me) both are hard to get to set seed. They try their best to not self pollinate.

Here's a bit of an article talking about that.

 In only two days, the Minnesota Gesneriad Society will host its spring display and sale. Although the weather might be cloudy outside, our street will be bright and warm inside!

Come on by for a visit, all are welcome!

Just in case you felt nerdy today, here's a chart of why Gesneriads are ... well.... Gesneriads! They have certain characteristics and features common to the plants in this particular family. They typically have five fused petals, and anthers that are fused. They make many teeny-tiny seeds (to SHARE).... in other words they are a lot of fun and you might need to come see some!

Here's a sneak peak at our street!

There will be houses and flowers and surprises. The new Minnesota Gesneriad Society is excited to present a spring show with a "House"-plant flair!

Come to Bachman's on Lyndale in Minneapolis April 29 - 30, 2017 and join in the fun!

Lots of different houses....
Lots of different looks.


Sale plants and more!
Please stop by Saturday 9-5 or Sunday 10-4 April 29-30, 2017

Need a fun plant society? We've got just what you're looking for!
