Streptocarpus 'Roulette Cherry and Beloved'

 Janice sent in these lovely shots of "What's doin' the blooming" today!

This is Streptocarpus "Beloved". I'm especially intrigued by the patterning in the lower lobes of the flower. You will also note that the petals are more "joined at the base" in some of the newer hybrids making the flower more "tubular" and also more Petunia-like.

The ruffled edges are also striking.
This is one of the more unique flowers in the world of Streptocarpus also. The intense coloration on the edges of a white flower make quite a statement.

Thanks for sharing today!

Questions???

  1. Both are beautiful, but my personal taste runs more toward Roulette Cherry; I have finally acknowledged that I prefer simpler flowers (especially on interesting foliage), and that's okay. :-)
