I do have the plant still but I grow it outside much of the year. It's gotten really cold already so it doesn't look like much of anything right now. It is actually borderline hardy here with good drainage if planted in the ground. However, I have pine voles that I worry will eat the tubers so I keep it in a container. Despite being brought inside for the worst of last year's horrible winter, it still got quite a bit of damage. If it looks better next year, I'll try to post some pics. In the meantime, here is a link that has some decent photos of Sinningia sellovii and discussion:

The hummingbirds really do go mad for Sinningia sellovii. They'll even pass by the Salvia to feed from it and go over it at least twice to make sure that they get every drop of nectar. Smiling

Oh, here is my "Chia Pet." I even dropped the pot in the floor at one point and had to scoop the soil back into the pot. There would have probably been even more seedlings otherwise.
