Re: wrong ID - Streptocarpus?


That hovering, butterfly-like flower reminded me of a plant I saw 
years ago, Streptocarpus saxorum, with dark green leaves and pale 
true blue flowers.  I checked it at various sites online, and I think 
I have a form of it.  Or maybe somehow I've starved and dried it so 
that the leaves are yellow and the flowers purple.  One houseplant 
site says it should be watered often.  Mine were outside in the sun 
in small pots so could have dried.  Since I have two, I will 
fertilize one and keep it moister than the other, and see if I can 
get it to look like the plant I remember.
