My own creations:
Streptocarpus No Left Turn
Streptocarpus No Right Turn
Named for the twisting of the lower petal of each flower, both flowers look identical except for the direction the petal twists. These are the first two seedlings to bloom. Will they twist on future flowerings? Will they remain twisted in the same direction? These are questions that need answers.
The parent plant was a selfing of either Iced Pink Flamingo or Snow Rose Mountain - both having pink flowers. Note these flowers are corn-flower blue. What will the rest of the seedlings look like? Only time will tell.
I'll post more here as they bloom out. At the time of this posting, each of these seedlings are producing a second round of flowers. The other seedlings haven't bloomed out yet.
