over at Hort Log

Did you see the post on giant gesneriads over at Hort Log?  We don't get to see photos of things like Paraboea all that much. The post also includes a photo of a Rhytidophyllum tomentosum at a botanic garden in Europe. Do any of the U.S. botanical gardens have larger gesneriads on public display?  I saw a young R. tomentosum at the Tsukuba Botanical Garden a couple of hours outside of Tokyo:

Anyway, if you haven't seen it already, check out the Hort Log post.
