i have this little c.tamiania,it got knocked on floor so i repot it now its got blooms,but they look strange,is there something wrong with it
is this right
hers another one
you mean the calyx that covers the buds? that's typical for a tamiana. When it's older, it will bloom better, with a few flower spikes from each plant. The flowers on each spike seem to open consecutively, however.
Here's a photo of a young plant: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ki/3523671/
and here's 4 planted in a cache pot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ki/3523671/
and another round of blooms on the same cache pot a few months later: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ki/12398470/

oh my that plant is beautifull, i will take good care of mine and hopefully it will look like that one,is what i got it in to small are is it ok.thanks eunice
I think the pot size is fine.
you can propagate them from leaf, like AVs. They also grow quite easily from seed - when they're happy, they often self-fertilize and develop seed pods.
Looks good to me! Very pretty! Love the cup and saucer too. This is one of my favorite Chiritas!

Love all your photos especially the one with all your stands in front of your windows showing Chirita Tamiana. All very pretty!
Thanks!
Your plants are beautiful ! The large one with Fantasy flowers may be B-Man's Etnea or B-Man's Comiso ?
