Or how about this one??? I love this Streptocarpus but the starting bid was out of the budget(never mind the ending bid, lol). I do REALLY like the Strep though,,,so different,,,

Here is a link that might be useful: Streptocarpus 'Jacos Gem'

Yeah well, the bidders get the plant they wanted so I can't fault them. Ever price orchids???? I kind of like to see the gesneriads get some action. The first one is probably a very nice new hybrid, but aside from its growth habit, it looks much like many netted streps. I wonder what could be had from a selfing of Bethan. The second one is also very interesting, though not particularly beautiful. It came from some mixed seed sent from South Africa by Jaco (can't remember his full name). Humph, I just remembered I have some mixed seed from him. I better get it planted! Since gesneriads are so easy to propagate I doubt if these two will be rare and expensive for long, but in the meantime its nice to see that people value them.

I got a much bigger Gwen for about $5. And mine is blooming! I feel like such a bargain shopper. :)

It seems crazy to spend so much on these when so many beautiful ones are available at places like Londons and Robs violets.
