I wonder if you could take leaf cuttings of this one, like an African violet(Saintpaulia).
Excellently grown, Michael!

A lovely pot of gesnerads, Michael. Here is another one I like - Tecomeria - that came and went for me. Sure hope to find it again on the NARGs seed list. Fran

Very impressive, Michael!
I have been trying some Gesneriads outside but they have never flowered, partly due to snails and possibly slugs (so far I have only found snails on them) munching the new growth. The first picture (taken today) shows that they haven't gone hibernating yet!
