The Gesneriad Society lists PBS on their website as a source/interest group. They are a good bunch of people. And Gesneriaceae is a fascinating and rewarding family. Dell From: Dennis Kramb Sent: Thursday, September 5, 2013 4:00 PM To: Pacific Bulb Society The flower is slightly smaller than an African violet... perhaps 1.5cm across? but it's also very tubular. I acquired the seeds from The Gesneriad Society seed fund. http://gesneriadsociety.org/Membership/… Another good source is BrazilPlants.Com but it's pricey. Most of the Ges. Soc. material originates from BrazilPlants.Com. Gesneriads are addictive because many of them stay small, grow quickly from seed, and can bloom within 6 to 9 months of sowing. Probably the most unfortunate thing is that most species lack fragrance. And many species require terrarium culture with high humidity to thrive. Surprisingly many are cold hardy to Zone 8. A rare few are hardy to Zone 6.
