Aeschynanthus Rasta

I met this unique lipstick plant in Cameron Highlands of Malaysia. It is a popular hanging plant there and the twist leaves suddenly caught my eyes.

Sinn. "Anne Crowley" x sellovii

A tall grower. 2 seedlings in bloom now, no obvious color difference between both. Looking forward to seeing other seedlings shortly.

Kohleria "Designer's Helloween"

It's glad to see Designer's Helloween blooming again, it almost died out last year but finally I got 2 survivals in this blooming season in the end of March.

Flowering Kohleria

All are tall cultivars that require space for free growing, and then they seem to flower endlessly and will keep showing their innate ability as long as the temperature doesn't raise too high in Taipei. Treat our plants with what they need instead of what we need, indeed.

Niphaea oblonga

I do love this easy plant because it is simple to handle. The bloom season just begins and more blooms can be expected because it grows huge this year. I use shallow pot and the main medium are the mixture of lava rock, gravel, perlite and akadama soil.

Primulina

They traditionally flower in the spring, that's why the genera is called "Primulina". These lavender flowers do not last long, but they are a precise biological sign of season change between winter and spring. Let the plants lead the way and reduce human control as few as possible, they will grow stronger and healthier.

I like the way they perform

3 my own Kohleria seedlings in shallow pot, I like the way they perform at this stage.
