Eeeeeee! Aww Eriostemmas are so adorable looking with their fresh open faces, rounded leaves, and fuzz fuzz fuzz.

Only have one eriostemma, and I think I chose the wrong one to try to bloom, lol. One can hope...(yeah, right, it's lauterbachii and those only bloom in HI and their native locale). I love eriostemma flowers, so thanks for sharing!

Do you think it's lauterbachii? It certainly could be. I have a ciliata, lauterbachii and Monette all together in a large pot. They are all wound about each other, but I have tags on them to help me figure out who is who. When I traced back from the bloom (which is like trying to count a wad of snakes LOL) I came to the Monette tag. This is one of my most reliable bloomers. I grow them in chunky orchid mix in a large African violet pot and keep it only indoors in full sun. I keep it well watered.

No, I meant that the one eriostemma I have is lauterbachii. You wouldn't miss that bloom. It is HUGE. And lauterbachii flowers are campanulate and lauterbachii has to CLIMB HIGH, then go back down to bloom. Your bloom is not lauterbachii. Sorry for the confusion.
In other news, I have got to get me an easier blooming eriostemma, if there is such a thing!

Beautiful! Mine flowered a\ 3 weeks ago, Love the flowers.

Sooo pretty!! I have Ruthie that bloomed once a few months ago, I hope it blooms again in Spring. I love them too...

It's lovely. Congrats on the bloom.

Btw, considering Eriostemmas, did anyone else read the comment on a well known Hoya persons website that these are actually deciduous in winter, due to a dry season?

Has anyone tried that, and if si, did it bloom better for you?

Just curios.....

I have not heard about Eriostemmas being deciduous, and a quick google search returns nothing.

GT357,
I have never heard of that either. I would freak if it dropped all of it's leaves! LOL This one is several years old and has always been a reliable bloomer.
