Monomad - In the shadows

in #monomad6 years ago

One of seven or eight Streprocarpuses I currently have. And it is the very first one I ever owned. A friend of mine gifted me a small seedling some years ago and it has been with me ever since.

Streptocarpus Harlequin Damsel

After having a few of them blooming I think I prefer the simpler flower shape. The more traditional I guess with straight edges and petals more round.
But I do like those veins on this ones. So stunning!

It looks like it is shy...
Slowly stepping back to the safe shadows...
