Well, and what got me hooked on Gesneriads in the first place is the, sometimes very abundant, fuzz that covers the plants...
Sinningia bullata, araneosa and 'Amizade', Eucodonia 'Tiny Tot'
May pictures and chit chat
And an update on Sinningia 'Seminole'
Hi Olaf,
Wow, absolutely blown away by that video. Thanks for posting the link. As to the large standards, they definitely pose space problems and I have started to move away from them a bit. I am finding more Rob's plants in my collection. Some of my favorites, like King's Ransom, I know I will keep even though they grow quite large.
Again, thanks for the link to the video. It was spectacular!
Earle
You are welcome, Earle!
Olaf... Great pics as always...
Love the 'Lilla Gubben'!
Thanks, Karen! :)
Here's Kohleria 'HCY's Jardin De Monet'
I'm exhausted from working all day on the plants. It's a happy tired.
King's Treasure
That IS a treasure, Jamie! Wow!
I hear you. Been potting up/pricking out/sowing/pollinating/harvesting seeds all week whenever I had a little bit of time... That's why I love spring! :)

Wonderful pictures(drool,drool) ^_^
The bud on Sinningia 'Ozark Scentimental Journey' still isn't open but here's its progress so far...
Maybe tomorrow!!!
Connie
I need help with this unknown gesneriad. The label came off during seedling growth. This one survived only in a terrarium. It's blooming after between 1-2 years. What is it???
Nice one, Jamie!
Could it be Boea hemsleyana?

Looks like you got it Olaf.
It sure is cute Jamie!
Lynn
Yes, Yes, Yes!!! That is seed that I didn't think germinated for me and I had written off. Thank you so much Olaf- you are Amazing!!!
I can't find information about the Boea hemsleyana plant. How to propagate and grow? Does anyone know?
Amalyopyllon clarkii (sp?) in a terrauim, blooming tiny white flowers.
Sinningia, lost her name too,but she's still pretty to me.
Here's a Sinningia that I got from Olaf at some point and don't have labeled either. Do you recognize this one Olaf? Thanks!
Thanks, Jamie!
Seems as though Boea generally want similar conditions as Gesneria.
The Miracle Houseplants says that they had good success in light mix with additional lime and relatively high humidity. Oh, and keep "very well watered at all times".
Can't find any more information than this.,,
Well, and the fact that you got flowers pretty much lets you know that you're doing something right... ;)
Olaf
Wow! That sure looks like a healthy bunch of Amalophyllon clarkii (aka. Phinaea USBRG 96-336).
As for the Sinningias: That speciosa is AWESOME and I have no idea what that mini could be. You sure that's from me? LOL
Jamie, that looks like my Blue Dandy,
Connie
I love the foliage on Amalyopyllon clarkii !
Lynn
Jamie,
I emailed you an article about your plant.
Thanks for the wonderful article Lynn! I'll try setting some tip cuttings after the blooms are through, so there'll be Boe to share. And Connie, I think you are correct because I did order 'Blue Dandy' at some point from one of the big vendors. I've never ordered little Sinningias though, and still don't know who is the dark pink bloomer. I thought Olaf was my only source, but maybe I picked it up in a RR.
