Mini-Sinningias in the cold February

Just some photos of new seedlings. No comments. :)

Kohleria Beltane

This is a tall cultivar but the color is unique. Male fertile.

Saintpaulia rupicola

A species of African Violet, an easy bloomer. The name "rupicola" derives from the Latin rupe (cliff) + cola (dweller) in recognition of the terrain to which it is indigenous. Multi-crowned standard or bushy trailer.

Happy Chinese New Year

CNY holidays are coming, what a happy season. :-)
Here is the new bloom of my first Kohleria seedling. (Re: subject "Expectation" in 30th Jan. 2010)

Smithiantha (Formosa Hybrids) II

Taiwan base, various Smithiantha seedlings of Formosa series by Ms. Dollyyeh, just colorful ...

recent seedlings of mini-sinningia

Above 2 seedlings are selected from my last crosses. The idea was to firstly get the halfway result (to eliminate some characters which are not pleasing to the eyes first) then target the patterns of larger petal size + orange-tended color (no fading) + compact/smooth foliage + good bloomer. The parentage of these 2 seedlings are different in their mother plant only.



The recent seedlings of red miniature sinningias are very showy with more than 3cm in diameter. Combining the similar red color layer of multi-generations hybridization, these mini-sinningias keep the stable color presentation utill they fade.





Some other remarkable seedlings from my latest experimental crosses. I particularly appreciate the last one with the fingerprint pattern extending from the flower throat to the outside petal.

Many thanks to Mr. Stone for his assistance.
