Hello gorgeous!

My Streptocarpus Harlequin Damsel is in bloom again. Very shy few flowers for now. It suffered a little bit and had mealybugs, but it is on a good way to recovery.
Can't want to see it grow big and bushy and bloom with dozen of those cute flowers. There is no fragrance on those, but they catch up with the look.

It is also the father on all my Streps I grew from seed. I used it to polinate another plant and so fasr all te babies have different colours. More purple, yellow, navy blue. So amazing!

Gorgeous photos. This flower has got very beautiful colors!

Thank you, it is a stunning one :)

Beautiful! Streptocarpus is also native to my country but they are not really found where I live, it's too hot and dry

Thank you :)
I noticed they do not like heat to much. They look much better in cooler months. But they are starting to bloom now so yay! :)

The beauty of photography and the flower!
At us I did not see on sale Streptocarpus.
But most likely they are not suitable for our climate, here are very hot.
Your Streptocarpus is simply handsome !!!

Thank you! They are very handsome. And they do not like hot weather at all :(
Always look better in fall and spring.

It's a pity, they do not fit our climate :-(

This is beautiful! I have never seen one of these before.

Thank you! I don't know why I don't see them much in shops. They grow like African Violets which are very popular. Why not Streptocarpus then?
