Description
onotus petelotii YuGu#080 A member of the Gesneriaceae (African Violet family) native to the China/Vietnam frontier where it grows on mossy cliffs and as an epiphyte in trees. This has narrow leaves that are glossy and deeply toothed. The glossy flowers are white with a purple flush. Very new to cultivation. A favorite genus personally, I grow the various different species in moss-lined orchid baskets so the creeping stems can emerge from the sides and bottom. This collection has survived being frozen solid for a week in a hanging basket in my backyard – amazing. (+5?) RSBG Large, blooming-size plants for
