I grow streps, and someone gave me this Sinningia (I think, I'm not at home so don't remember?? and unable to look at the label :sad:) but its "crested" and they said, "these crested ones are very difficult to get to bloom!" I said "I love it just as a houseplant, I don't really care if it blooms or not" The other day I was watering, and noticed buds!! (after only 2 months!) :hurray:

I believe that I have a "crested" variety... I did get it to bloom ONCE but then I re-potted and it's not popped since. I wish I would have gotten pictures but it was EARLY(three years ago) in my travels along the growing path. I still have the plant and it is LOVELY, the leaves are HUGE compared to my other two varieties. Do you have any images of your blooms?
