Streps 'Noreen', 'Neil's Freckles', 'Alissa', 'Pink Sunrise and Col. 'Firebird'

Welcome! Today you're in for a treat. Here are some very nicely shot photos of "What's Doin' the Bloomin' Today" sent over to us by guest blogger Janice!

This is  one of my favorites, 'Noreen'. I like the bright yellow and the fact that some of the upper petals show the yellow instead of only the lower three.

 Jealousy is a bad thing, right? This plant never seems to quit blooming for Janice. It's Columnea "Firebird".  I've visited on several occasions and this plant is always doing this. I'm pretty sure if I bought one it wouldn't look quite like this, but if Columneas like growing in your home, try this one out!

 Pretty in pink..... 'Pink Sunrise' has a lot of the bright yellow showing in the throat and nice big flowers.  Now if someone could get either a very, very ruffled edge or a frilled edge like Alsobia show, this would be just about perfect, right?

I think that 'Alissa' was one of the first all-yellow Streps. The flowers are nicely presented with just a hint of purplish white around the edges. 

Here's an offering from (yes, I'm going to BRAG a lot) one of our very own club members!!!! From Miller of Neil's Streps comes 'Freckles'. Love the distinct two-tone and the contrasting colors. I don't think it could get any better with any other color combination. When I figure out how to grow a decent Strep., this is going to be on the top of the list.

Thanks again to Janice. Please leave a little kudos for such nice pix.
