Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of our favorite growers introduced us to this little gem, a relative of those more familiar African violets. Perhaps you can see the similarity in the slightly fuzzy, little-bit-pudgy leaves? But the flowers - a whole different story! These trumpet-shaped blooms terminate in petals edged in tiny fringed rays.
