one of the old school

Lovely Little Rick , every time I see this violet , I surely take a photo of it when the thumb-print is just right.

Sinningia helioana in December

It just blooms once in a year but lasts for a while. It likes wet and moisture during growing season but dry in the cooler days.

Primulina hochiensis

Not common in the market yet, Primulina hochiensis is native in the areas of limestone hills in Guangxi, China.

No cross, no crown

In the dull and boring world, there is also occasional luck. Keep on going never give up.

Titanotrichum oldhamii 俄氏草

There are many native gesneriads we can find in Taiwan and Titanotrichum oldhamii is considered as the most shining flower among the local gesneriads.

Sinningia in the city

Only the hardiest Sinningia can survive and do well in the city. That's why we call them hardy plant.

Sinn. bragae

Sinn. sellovii

Free-Flowering Sinningia

We have this hybrid for a long time and it is considered as a F1 seedling between tubiflora and sellovii. Very free-flowering and it is very tall.

Beginning of Autumn

According to the lunar calendar, 8/7 is the beginning of Autumn.  Glad to know it but the fact is the heat remains.

Sinningia seedlings

Medium size and flower.

miniature calyx double

It's a windy day at the end of June. It seems this summer is not annoying. So far so good ~

Summer Primulina

Just 2 Primulinas that show their flowers in the Summer, unlike other Primulina that usually produce their flowers in the Spring. The blue one is sp. USBRG 98-083 and the pale pink one is "Suzumushi"

Large but Showy

Sinningia speciosa or regina is always showy on time to remind me the Very Hot Summer is coming after the monsoonal rain.

Pearcea hypocyrtiflora

Pearcea hypocyrtiflora lives in the forests of Ecuador. The plant can be reproduced from a rhizome or cutting. It has the attractive leaves with pink and white veins.  The fuzzy bubble flower is topped with a few small petals which is open to allow the pollinator, a hummingbird, access into the bubble. Interesting !!!

Primulina longii

Easy plant but once a year :(

Sinn. Jung's Blueberry Swirl

This is a new hybrid by JJWU that is featuring the new looks of Sinningia hybrid at the moment. The parentage is Sinn. Jung's Baby Lion and Sinn. bragae (used to be sp. Ibitioca) , and the characters are perfectly combined and presented in this seedling plant.

 

線葉唇柱苣苔 - Primulina linearifolia

The flowers are always on time every year , soft pink and brilliant. The name refers to its foliage , it is one of a kind in the Primulina family.

菱葉報春苣苔 - Primulina subrhomboidea

A very slow-growing species , it takes a long time to wait for the flowers. But it's worth after seeing the healthy plant with full blooms. A typical Primulina flower shape but the foliage is characteristic.

台灣早期從日本或美國回來的皮草中，曾經有過Primulina subrhomboidea這個品種在台灣流通，如以本篇植物圖片所呈現的品種樣式來看，過去的名字很有可能是誤植了很長一段時間。目前還是以專家告知的資訊，作為品種名標示的依據。

Primulina Heat Wave

It's the time for Primulina to show off their flowers. The blue and lavender atmosphere will dominate this season.

Brilliant flowers

Columnea gloriosa will be the icon plant when it blooms. Very showy and brilliant , it will bring you warm sunshine in the winter.

Pr. Matsumushi

A beautiful miniature Primulina hybrid from Japan. It looks like a compact succulent plant.

It doesn't look like a Sinningia

Sinningia nordestina is absolutely the weirdest member in Sinningia family. But it is also a stunning flowering plant.

Not the best yet but the beginning to the perfect.
