Sinningia speciosa

**UPDATE: March 2014 show - including David Zaitlin's lecture - is cancelled due to weather-related complications**

With David Zaitlin's lecture coming up (March 8, 2014, just outside of DC), I thought I would post some photos of Sinningia speciosa.

Here is one with Jim Robert's hand for size:

And of course, there are the staggering amazing speciosa examples from Charles Lawn's hybridizing efforts - see a few examples at The Gesneriad Reference Web.
