I posted 2 pics on the ID forum if anyone can help. I got a Sinningia Sellovii 2 years ago and fell in love with them. So got a few more at the plant swap this spring that weren't named and they are starting to bloom. I got Sinningia white Tubaflora?? at the swap this year but hasn't started to bloom yet either

A question about Hardy pink Gloxinia. I have tried to grow one for 2 years and it seems like once the humidity kicks in they die. The beautiful healthy one I bought this spring only lasted 2 weeks and died. last year I at least got blooms before it died. Am I doing something wrong or do they not like the heat and humidity of the deep south??
