Hi, Connie,

Neither of these is listed on First Class2. I also looked at the Saintpaulia species list, nothing there either.

I assume this was a raffle at a meeting or show. Try to track down the donor for more information.

Good luck!

There is a streptocarpus named "Blackbird." I don't mean to insult you and assume you know the difference but many AV growers are growing streps.

(Actually, the other one sounded more like something else to me, but I didn't find anything.)

Hi - Thanks for the suggestions - I did find info about Santa Paula rubiosa - wrong name - I think the donor might have spelled it like they heard it. I got a note from a grower in our club - and she identified it as Santapaulia Rupiosa - Species plant. I checked the description for my plant and yep, that was it. So I found at least one of them. Thanks again! Connie

Just a note to let folks know about our Judged Show and Sale coming up on April 30th at Descanco Gardens. The Show opens from 11 till 4 - after the Judging is completed. The Sales tables will be open from 9 a.m. till 4 p.m. We will also have a Silent Auction with many lovely and useful baskets to bid on. Descanso Gardens is located at 1418 Descanso Drive, La Canada, CA 91011. We should have perfect weather this weekend - so come see our show and enjoy the gardens too!

It's actually rupicola.

And there are 5 different ones:

S. rupicola
S. clone rupicola
S. clone rupicola lite
S. clone rupicola Mather No. 5
S. clone rupicola pale

But they all have the same description..

*does not understand species, but wanted to put this out there for ya*
