Here's a collage of a few Smithiantha hybrids I donated to the BX that was just posted. Smithiantha are related to African violets, but they are geophytes, love sunlight, & have a dormant (winter) phase. For me they grow actively from about May through January, and are usually in full bloom from September through January. They are glorious flowers with stunning velvety foliage that you can't help but touch! I hope you'll try one. Here's what PBS Wiki says about them: https://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Dennis in Cincinnati -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
