Related to African Violets, Gesneriads are very interesting. Most of them are not high on my list of favorites, but at the African Violet show recently, I sort of fell in love with the Pestrocosmeas. The Violet Barn web site describes them as follows --- "Nearly all have very well behaved foliage that grows in a perfect rosette. Most have soft, velvety, leaves. All will bloom easily. Same care as for violets. Try to avoid extreme heat (they love it cool)--though they'e tough, tolerant plants." Another variety below ---- I bought three of them, so I may be in trouble?

These are pretty--much prettier in person than I thought they sounded the other day. I was thinking this morning that we ought to take another trip to the Violet Barn sometime soon. I need some replacement begonias!
