I get it, Kev.
I don't do tiny tea cups either, but I have one tiny little miniature. I can't imagine how microscopic its flowers will be, but it's cool to have something to contrast all the other Brobdingnagian giants...

Sinningia Rio das Pedras
Got these seed from a friend. This is the first flower. Just so I don't give you guys the wrong impression or anythng, I don't collect little teacups and stuff like that. I actually hate "cute", but these are soooooo cool.
(that's a 2 1/2 inch pot)

I bet there is a Jungian psychologist out there who has published a theory about people who have a fetish for tiny flowers. I will not speculate that theory in this family oriented forum.
Kev- I'm relieved you do not have a thing for tiny teacups.
Oh, and to stay on topic, cool pic. and great flower structure. Wonder what insect pollinates the little bugger?

Matt,
I guess I'm not into all tiny flowers, but this is just such a cool looking plant. The foliage is really beautiful.
I also wonder what pollinates these tiny things. I have a Platystele just starting to bloom now. The flowers are only a few mm wide. I'm going to try to photograph that one, but it will be a challenge.
This thread's topic is quickly becoming: size doesn't count. (Breathe easier guys - us girls have known that for a long time!)

That is really neat, Kev. I don't collect frufru teacups, either, but I do love little plants. Do you grow this like haerella odorata?
RSJ
I've been growing it in my basement with my seedling stuff so far. I think it will need a bit more light than the Haraella, but I'm not sure yet.
That is pretty , I like it , I am not into tea cups either . Gin
