Although I have a limited species collection, I wanted to share with you some of my photos. I also wanted to present a bloom study. Please keep in mind that not all pictures represent the true color, which can be difficult in certain light, or maybe it's just my camera. Natural light makes the flowers look bluer and artificial light makes them look too pink. Some pictures are intended to show the shape and characteristics of the flower more so than the color itself. Remember that this is how my plants look in my growing conditions. Your plants may differ slightly. Thanks for looking!

Miniature Sweetheart
6. cl. brevipilosa

Happy springtime blooms cheer up the plant room

Notice the texture of the petals.

The back side of the brevipilosa flower has a texture as well. All of the flowers seem to have the "creases" on the two upper petals. Color not true in this photo

brevipilosa leaves are about 4cm or 1-1/2 to 1-5/8 inch wide on my two plants which I have been growing for about 4 years.

These are very large leaves for such tiny plants.

My brevipilosa plants grow in 3-ounce solo cups and rarely reach more than 5 inches across.
