Bicolor Miniature Sinningia

Such color patterns (white/pink ; white/lavender) seem easy to get from the cross with Sinn. "Isabelle" as long as another parentage is slightly bicolor patterned. I rarely used "Isabelle" for crossing, it's a classic beauty but its heredity is quite limited, "the white and the dots", which is not creative nowadays. If the bicolor is preferred, try Sinn. "Isabelle", but set a target of creating a heavy bloomer at least.

Funky Kohleria

A Kohleria seedling, silver veining leaves with hanging flower ... so funky and alternative.

early summer of mini-sinningias

In Taiwan , the temp. during April to May is decent for miniature sinningia, after a short dormancy in the cold months, the new sprouts grow fast at this period. Good weather helps to get best quality blooms of many varieties, but some requires higher temp. to show off their fascinating colors.
