Here is my new Episcia which I think is lilacina or Fannie Haage, the same plant seems to have two names. Any ideas what name is right? She is a pleasure to grow no matter what, the leaves are just adorable
Episcia puzzle
lilacina has blue flowers,Fanny has orange.
Thanks for the info Lynn, now I'll beg her for blooms!
If she's Fanny you won't have to beg lol,although they bloom much more freely in summer,for me at least.
Here's a nice site for you http://www.streptocarpus-info.com/Episcia/index.html
Now I'm really confused.I just read Fanny has blue flowers......mine doesn't??
Yep, Fanny is said to have blue flowers here too:

Am I good at confusing you Lynn? and myself in the first place, lol
It doesn't take much to confuse me LOL.
Very pretty.It may bloom with more light,but Episcias bloom best with heat and humidity.
The tiny one is so cute holding her huge blooms, very nice color too! Do you fertilize her now?
She gets 1/4 tsp/gal just like the AV's. I'll try putting a heating pad underneath then to initiate blooms. The shows in 6 weeks. I have no idea how long it takes an episcia to go from bud to bloom. When to place the pad?
Jamie,
