Whenever I see Poochie with her big floozy blooms I think of a Southern lady in her big skirts relaxed back on a hot day with a mint julep in her hand ..... don't know why but that is the image that bloom has always conjured for me. Maybe I'm just nuts! LOL

I do love that Cyanandrus and figure no matter what my circumstances in the future this is one strep I will always be able to grow as it's so tiny and grows well in it's terrarium under the florescent lights in my kitchen.

What's amazing to me with the species streps is to think that if you were in the right place in South America you could come across this exact plant growing in the wild. You'd have to really be looking for the little thing ..... but it would look just like this in it's natural environment.

Boy you guys are getting to listen to my mind wander this morning aren't you? LOL

OK, one more picture and then to work for me ............ K Mother's Lipstick, the kohleria that made me have to try and grow them!
