Sinningia nordestina. Very slow but not at all difficult to germinate. It takes about 3 months. The oldest seedlings are a few weeks old, the youngest just geminated a week or so ago. A more recent discovery, it is somewhat of an oddball among the Sinningias. It can act like an annual with no tuber or sometimes make very small tubers. The flowers look mor like a Kohleria than a Sinningia. Germination is painfully slow for a Sinningia. Just like Alan LaVergne says on his website Sinningia & Friends. The habit isn't very tidy but I agree with Alan LaVergne that it is worth a try. :)
