I wanted to try growing some new plants this spring, so one of the newbies I bought was Gloxinia. I had wanted this for some time, so of course, I bought three!!! I did not know until I began participating in this forum that they were Gessies (Sinningia speciosa). When I purchased the rhizomes, I know they were named cultivars... now all I remember is that I have a dark red, a dark purple, and a "tiger" pink.

I planted the rhizomes 4/17/07, and boy, have they grown! They sit in my east window. Here is a photo of all three together...
