Hi Greg and all... (seeing a familiar name or two here... hi Lin!)
I love Streps and currently have about 20 mature varieties (mostly Polish and Russian), and more than a dozen new varieites that I have leaves down for. I actually love all the gesneriads, and grow episcias, sinningias, and kohlerias too... but the streps are my favorite! It took me a bit of time to figure out what they like and don't like, but I am now able to keep them happy, growing, and blooming for me. Overwatering is the number one killer of these beauties!
Greg, you have some lovely plants there! I am especially fond of 'Noreen'. I had it back in the summer, but it was unifoliate, and I could never get it to produce more leaves. It bloomed beautifully, but I eventually lost it. I am hoping to get it back soon.
Enjoy them! They are addicting, but very rewarding!
Karen
