OK Now this is just plain weird.I walked past my Streaker Strep today and noticed this is how it was blooming.2 totally different colored and patterned blooms on the same plant/How can this be possible?..and...Which bloom is really what Streaker is supposed to look like?Any help will be greatly appreciated : ) I will post 2 pics,the first is of the entire plant as it is blooming..

2nd pic I pulled the blooms together so they can be seen better....
WOW!
I don't know, but I really like it. I think that's really cool. The mix of colors complement each other nicely. My best guess is that it is like a fantasy violet , like a pink bloom with blue specks and you get that one oddball solid purple bloom. Hope someone else has an expert answer for you.
Fantasies....you never know what they'll do. Love it, cedarnest....
Here's a description of 'Streaker'. from streptocarpus.com

Thanks Lacewing and Snowrose.I just love the 2 colors of blooms on one plant but thought it was so weird at first but its kinds growing on me.So I guess then Streps can bloom odd fantasies just like av's can sometimes?Very interesting.
Oh no Snowrose now you did it with that link.LOL Now even more I see that I must have.Hey snow I even saw one called Snowrose!!
Yeah...I saw that one too. Maybe I need it...
That is a good site or maybe I should say not so good, huh? I really have been loving the streps lately. The only fantasy I have now is Bristol's Surprise Party.
Wow Snow,Your Bristol's Surprise Party is Drop Dead Gorgeous!!
Cedarnest....Maybe we should trade strep fantasy leaves. How about it?
That sounds great to me Snow : ))
Wow! ...... I'm beginning to LOVE Strep's! They are Gorgeous!
Well I bought a strep at the local nursery the other week and it had white blooms and pink blooms...So I bought it to see if it would keep up with the dual colors.......
