This is a regular size sinningia, but one of the more compact ones. The pic is of a young plant (maybe 2 years old) in a 4" square pot. I grow it with the AVs (but with a little less water). It forms a tuber at the soil line - I'm quite in love with it.

I think first blooms might have taken close to a year from sowing. I sowed a batch of the same seeds a couple of months ago and got what I guess to be about 200% germination. If you've never tried a non-AV gesneriad, or tried anything from seed, I would recommend this one (if you like it, of course).

I have enough for ELEVEN people. Same as the others - please post here so others can see if any are left. Then, dmail me your address. This is a freebie offer (no postage, no nothing) so I just ask that you share the love.
