Hibiscus bloom, 2006 |
I had a plant buying problem. The only thing that kept me from having a new plant every week was focusing on African violets and other gesneriads. I also now have a rule that a plant (especially in the case of the gesneriads) must be a favorite in order to stay in the house.

My Wish List
I mostly prefer the small, fibrous-rooted gesneriads. I'm not actively "collecting" anymore, but if I want to get more these are what I'm looking for.
Traits I am looking to add to my African violet collection:
| foliage | longifolia, clackamus, holly, more variegation |
| flowers | bells, stars, colors I don't have |
| habits/size | "micro-miniatures" is an informal name for the truly tiny. Also would like more small trailers & species plants. |
| African Violets (Saintpaulia) | Other Gesneriads | ||
| S. brevipilosa | Brazos Belle (tiny trailer) | Spunky Trail (tiny trailer) | Streptocarpella sp. |
| S. shumensis | Chimpansy | Tsunami (tiny) | Chirita gemella, other small or "unifoliate." [Chiritas] |
| Rob’s Sarsparilla | Dreampuff (varigated girl foliage) | Tundra Snowflake (tiny) | Petrocosmea--any |
| Pony Ride (chimera trailer) | Hyla's Cricket Song | Beca's Green Touch | Espicia--any small |
| Persian Lace (bloom veining) | Mouse Maid | Blueberry Candy (Fay Wagman) | Unifoliate Streptocarpus |
| Tiny Moon Goddess | Nibble (clackamus) | Sinningia leucotricha | |
| Bewitchin' Jeannie (longifolia) | Rob's Green Jeans | ||
Plant Graveyard--things I have gotten rid of due to disease/bugs, or just not liking them enough.
