I joined the American Gloxinia and Gesneriad Society last year, and they sent me their famous mixed seed pack. (It's just a tiny pack of mixed seeds, but lots of people get a kick out of growing them.) Even after killing a few while I was travelling, I have some 70 seedlings going - it's fun looking at the variety I've got.
This is the first to flower (sorry it's a bad picture). It's about 4-5 months from seed. (By the way, I hope to put a seed pod from this plant up for trade in the other forum - if and when it ripens.)
