We had a Home Depot pack trial here a couple of weeks ago. They were showing off the new products (plants) they are going to have this year. Most of it was bedding color and flowering shrubs. BUT in one booth they had…….

Streptocarpus! Really cool color combos/patterns.

Well grown (of course... for the show). Were there any other gesneriads besides "strepts" and AVs?

No, just the Strepts. I thought the pink and yellow one was unique. I've never seen one with that combo.

Pretty sure I've seen the pink and yellow in pictures before.

Just so happens I ran across one yesterday.

I tried to resist because I tried 2 Strepts before. They performed much better then AV flowering in the same location. The issue was in the fall the leaves got a gray white mildew.
Moving to a different location hoping I don't have the same issue with this one.
