| Achimenes are a group of rhizomatous plants from the tropics. The come in a wide variety of colors, yellow, white, purple, wine reds, etc.. I grow about 20 varieties including several species. They were grown many years ago by our grandmothers, but fell out of favor as other new plants came along. But if you ever see a basket of them, you will want them. |

| Gloxinella lindeniana - Gloxinella has just one species, Gloxinella lindeniana, also known as Gloxinia lindeniana and Kohleria lindeniana. A really attractive little plant that grows from a rhizome. It has beautiful leaves, green with brown overlays and almost white veins, then it has nice little bloom that is lavender and white. Stays fairly small, I keep mine in a 2.5" pot. |
