Some of the Sinningias are species, some are hybrids. The three micros are the three actual micro mini Sinningia species. S. nordestina is the oddball Sinningia that acts like an annual and kind of looks more like a Kohleria than a Sinningia.

Sinningia bullata used to be known as S. sp. "Florianopolis".

The other Sinningias are hybrids.

This was my plant in early August:
