Wow! That one is really nice! My hubby found and bought me a plant of Sinn. sp. 'Regina', and a plant of Pearcea abunda for Christmas.... both not very common. I fell in love with Pearcea when I saw a HUGE plant of it (5ft+) in a greenhouse this summer, and I wanted it so bad! It has bright green leaves covered with bright red fuzz! I only hope I can do it justice!
So what is your favorite strep so far? Even as I ask, that's a hard question for me to answer... there are so many beautiful varieties now. I started in gessies six or seven years ago... mainly episcias at that time, but someone introduced me to streps and I had several before too long. Unfortunately, I got a case a mealie bugs that I could not get rid of, and I became so disheartened that I just got rid of everything! Fast forward to this past Spring, and I decided I would order a couple of my old favorites again. I had not even looked at streps in over two years, and I WAS STUNNED by the new varieties! Wow!!! It didn't take long for me to have too many (but you can never have too many, right?) I tend to underwater mine more often now, which also makes them unhappy, but I don't lose them nearly as often. I think I am finally getting the hang of it now, with my mix and my potting method, etc. they don't like it too warm and they did suffer some from our hot summer. I just got my second shelf set up so now I have a whole wall in our dining room for my plants!
