Does anyone have Gesneriad species to trade? I am looking for mini Singinnia species, tuberous Singinnia or Chirita sp, either seed or plants/leaves. Let me know if you have anything interesting even if it is outside of what I have mentioned above.

I have various plants for trade including many different Hoya species.

Hi Mike! Glad to see you back on the forums.
I've got a few Gesneriads to trade - my seed from Brazil Plants has germinated, and one of the species is blooming now.
This is Sinningia eumorpha 'Saltoa', not quite a mini since it is supposed to get up to 30 cm, but a nice species. Here's a link to the website with an image and more info - http://www.brazilplants.com/gesneriaceae/sinningia/sinningia-eumorpha-s.html
Also have quite a few Gloxinella lindeniana coming along, though they are not near blooming size yet. This should be a smaller species, around 15 cm. Nice foliage. Here's the link - http://www.brazilplants.com/gesneriaceae/e-m/gloxinella-lindeniana.html
I also ordered Chirita tamiana seed, but since all the tiny seed drifted when I sowed it, I'm not sure which of the other seedlings it is yet. I can tell the Gloxinella lindeniana because of the foliage, but not the Chirita yet.

Anyway, let me know if you're interested in the other two! Also, if you happen to decide to place an order for anything from Brazil Plants, I'd be interested in joining in and splitting shipping with you. There's more stuff there I'd like to try for sure!

Hi Barb. I was going to order from Brazil Plants as well but had not finilazed my order so feel free to send me a list of plants.
I would be interested in one of each of your seedlings. I have mostly Hoya species to trade but I do have some tiny Singinnia pusilla seedlings coming along plus some mixed mini Singinnia seedlings.
Hoyor.net has lots of good Hoya photos so if you see anything you like let me know in case I have it.

Mike

Hi Mike,

I have to do an inventory soon and can send you my list of gesneriads if you want me to send you leaves and cuttings for postage.

I really don't need more plants. I have a good variety of chiritas. I have some mini sinningias but don't think I have any available. It seems that as soon as I propagate them, someone drops by and asks for it.

I still have not sown the two sets of seeds that I got from Brazil plants this past year. I came back from the Gesneriad convention in Vancouver this summer with a few new things that I am propagating.
