Florist gloxinia

11 years ago

Hi

I got this originally from my grandmother in the early 70's brought it to florida in 78 where it grew on top of an aquarium

3 years ago decided it looked a LOT like a garden plant where it was promptly eaten to the ground 3 times .Though a bit of chewing it has come into flower anyway lol Over the years has been frozen underwatered, overwatered stepped on , neglected and even survived being in full sun !! have noted yet another reason why they are not garden plants The flowers point straight up so filled with water and wiped them out . I've been told that it's a very old variety called" Kaiser Wilhelm" patented in 1890. Whatever such a deep gorgeous color?? I've moved it under some elephant ears to see if that helps with the rain gary
