Chirita n' Begonia

Chirita and Begonia are good friends in their natural habitates and they are also good mates in my planting place. Interesting relationship.

How big is Sinn. eumorpha "Saltao" ?

Here is the photo, the miniature one is about 3cm in diameter.

Episcia in the office

I have several pots of Episcia in my office, and I took photos to keep their beautiful moment because the temp. is getting cooler day by day.

Episcia "Caroshelle" and "Harmony Pink ???"

Got them in Taipei from a Gesneriads lover who lives Singapore. :-) I am not sure the name of green one, but it does grow up fastly from a single plant.

Sinn. "Pirate's Lost In Rainbow"

over 3cm in diameter and flat-opened flower, clear-cut colors and patterns ... especially this photo was taken during HOT SUMMER in Taiwan, a pretty and well-developped miniature Sinningia.

Sinn. Stone's Yulia

A seedling between miniature Sinningia and Sinn. tubiflora. Coming with the most popular color combination of mini-sinn. , it's really adorable. It was put in 2 inches pot, now it is moved to 4 inches pot for next sprouts. More blooms are surely expected.

Looking for a little difference

After years, when checking the new bloom of Mini-Sinningia seedlings, the most comment comes out with " they look ok but not outstanding ". I've picked out many seedlings so far but I'm always looking for a little difference within current flower patterns. It could be a rare color or small diversity to impress people at the first sight. Therefore, to think about this issue before making cross will increase the percentage of getting unusual bloom. We can't count on beginer's luck for always. :-)
