Streptocarpus 'Bristol's Potpourri'


 I got a few baby streptocarpus a month ago for winter entertainment as an alternative to my orchids. These relatives of African violets will bloom throughout the year, but winter is when the blooms will be most appreciated. The first to bloom is 'Bristol's Potpourri' which has a light sweet fragrance. Compared to orchids, these plants are much easier to grow and way, way faster. Instant gratification compared to orchids. I'm talking about my Neostylis Baby Angel, which has yet to bloom and I've had it about 9 years.
