My Tiny Garden - Streptocarpus

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Another one of my creations. I mentioned about other two that I grew from seeds after cross pollinating two colour in this post.

This one here is one of my favorite though. Such gorgeous intensive navy blue and nicely rounded petals. Gorgeous! I will have to think of something nice to name it now.

The buds before they open are pretty cool too. When they start to open is like liitle hungry mouth waiting to be fed :p

My camera does magic!
Thanks a lot Karin :))

What an original color!
It's resplendent.
Superb creation.
How do you proceed to create these sublime flowers?

Thank you! It's pure accident :)
I have one light purple Streprocarpus no ID and one called Harlequin Damsel. I pollinated one with the other and got the seeds. Funny that so far every single flower that I got is different. Some amazing colours! It was a fun experiment for me and now I love to see the new ones flowering. Never know what it is going be. Now to keep the colour I can propagated them from leaf cuttings :)

I still have more to colours to show. And three didn't bloom yet, so no clue what they are.
