Petal Tones the Blog Edition: Streptocarpus 'Falling Stars' and Ludisia discolor in the garden
http://petaltones.blogspot.com/2012/10/streptocarpus-falling-stars-and-ludisia.html
Tuesday, October 23, 2012. Streptocarpus 'Falling Stars' and Ludisia discolor in the garden. Back in June during the garden club event at Behnke's, I met Doug Bolt, a retired USDA scientist who researched animal reproduction. He told me about how he has used Streptocarpus. Falling Stars' and Ludisia discolor. You can see more photographs of Doug's yard here. A friend gave him in 1969. He says his aversion to discarding plants is largely responsible for starting to use Streptocarpus. Posted by Kyoko Imai.

Hybrids growing in his garden in Washington, D.C. These are John's newest creations: complex hybrids involving Seemannia nematanthodes. Evita', Seemannia purpurascens. Purple Prince' and Seemannia gymnostoma. With mulch - to see if any of them will overwinter. I especially love the combination here with Tricyrtis. Posted by Kyoko Imai.
