Hello everyone,
Yes, I'm in love with sinningia 'Peridots Darth Vader' . I think this plant has the most extraordinary blossom. I grew this plant from leaf start to finish and what a grand finale. It has surpassed all my expectations....almost surreal. My photos do not do this amazing cultivar justice. The outward facing blossoms are 3 1/2" across and held over very dark green velvety foliage with a red reverse. Truly exceptional in every way.

I watched the buds open with anticipation....
