I've had such god luck in the past with episcia that I decided to branch out into Chiritas for some accent plants in the greenhouse. I am hoping it won't get too hot for them in summer. I only have one, it is just 'chirita' did not come with a cultivar name. Its in a little 2.5" pot. Anyone have experience with these, and a good source for named ones?

Anthuriums would make a good topic for the Aroids forum

Gina, what a pretty Chirita! I grew a few years ago but mine were indoors on a light stand with other Gesneriads. Awhile back, the Genus was changed from Chirita to Primulina but I see it's now back to Chirita again! Blinking

Lyndon Lyon Greenhouse has always had a good reputation for it's plants and they have a few(still listed (as Primulina): http://lyndonlyon.com/store/in...

One of my favorites that I miss was the miniature Chirita (Metapetrocosmea tamiana) I see Logees has it for sale and I'm tempted to order one.

Oooh, it's on LyndonLyons list too ... I will have to seriously think about placing an order soon... and probably for more than just the one Chirita tamiana. Green Grin!
