xAchimenantha (Achimenes x Smithiantha)

Sometimes the inter-genera cross will bring out special but beautiful flowers. Doing this kind of cross may not get a lot of offsprings but just interesting.

Plumberry Glow

A favorite thumb print violet, like the breeze in summer time.

Same & Different

These Sinningias have the same parentage, but a bit differet in their appearance. It is interesting to have various combinations which are unexpected.

Chirita Silver Surfer

My old Chirita for years, keep it in 3 inches pot, so doesn't grow huge. A space-saving solution. :)

Achimenes dulcis

The white bell-shaped Achimenes, but there is no smell although some records say it's fragrant.

The Double

I don't prefer the double, this one comes with the soft color , so it seems ok to me. The foliage should be the flaw that needs to be improved.

Episcia Silver Skies

This is a miniature Epsicia, cute foliage, red flower. An easy grower.

Halo's Aglitter

One of my favorite violet, really a classic beauty. I only grow violets outside my windows every winter to spring. Only the temp. of these seasons is suitable for growing violets outdoors in Taiwan.
