Hi Jim,
Again, sorry for your loss.
I looked up Olgeevess Cassandra and couldn't find it. I found a Cassandra, but it doesn't have the yellow tinge to the throat.
So the search continues!
Boy, I had no idea streps came in such a huge range of colors :-) I am almost tempted to start collecting them....but I am in love with gloxinias and if I am going to make space, it will be for more of them.
I've got three coming back up right now. Here is a shot from yesterday of the largest one. It always puts out a weak side shoot that I cut off and root. Once the tubers are a year or so old and big enough to make a nice big plant, I give them away.
Been doing that for about 12 years now.
