Streptocarpus ‘Mary Sakamoto’ - Cape Primrose Gesneriaceae Katherine Henwood, Pacifica We’ve shown hybrids of these plants before but nothing to equal this plant. At first glance the large flower could be mistaken for a Miltonia (Pansy orchid) as it is well over 2 inches across, white with a cross band of pink. The plant had numerous bloom scapes, each with 2 or 3 buds. The ruffled, dark green foliage was quite compact, so all in all it was a wonderful plant. Like all streptocarpus plants it likes shade and fairly cool conditions. These plants will take several degrees of frost, so may be grown outdoors. Katherine lives in Pacifica, so the plant is happy.
