Moms Plant


This is a plant that we named for (Rob's) mom.  A plant that she rescued, never repotted, rarely watered or fed, knocked to the floor numerous times by the cats, and bloomed nearly continuously for over a year in a dimly lit north window.  We had to keep it and name it.  It has lovely light blue blooms shaded darker purple.

Mothers Day Gift

Bought back during Mother's Day as a gift for my mom. Started blooming a couple weeks after receiving it, and hasn't stopped since. Fantastic and hardy streptocarpus that never seems to stop showing off!

One tough cookie

I received this plant as a free gift on my last order. It was huge, in bloom and it was beautiful.

Somebody moved the plant to an unused room, got forgotten about and died. I remembered the story of what a tough plant it is, so I kept it watered instead of throwing it out. A week later, green leaves started to poke out and now they are really making their move, they are about an inch long.

Love this plant!

One of My Favorites

Mom's Plant is truly amazing. Most of my streps grow under lights, she grows in an crowded east window. If you are looking for a fairly compact growing strep that loves to bloom with long lasting flowers you really want to try this one.

A Hardy Little Plant

I purchased this cutie a couple of years ago. It did well until it got a leaf disease and almost died. One little piece of green leaf grew back and the plant recovererd and bloomed a few months later. I do not mist them in the evening any more. This plant has stayed small and manageable which I like. Would recommend.

Loaded with blooms!

I bought this pretty little girl about three months ago. Potted her up, and she seemed to settle in faster than the miniature violets that I potted at the same time. I didn't notice how much it had grown until -- suddenly -- two 6-to-8" stalks full of gorgeous blooms have shot up, and several more are in diferent stages of unfurling. Good! That means that it will be in bloom for a long, long time! The color is more lavendar/blue-violet than shown here (mine isn't at all pink) with velvety red-violet throats on the bottom petals. Love her!
