Streptocarpus Dimetris

Greetings to All!

Sometimes it is very difficult to select the best hybrids out of the many we create. It should be no surprise, as growers have different tastes, and different people have different preferences. Sometimes we may think that the hybrids are too similar to be of general interest, but our customers may ask us to still grow and propagate them as they perceive differences in some interesting detail. Very often, customers have preferences for colors – e.g. they would like more pink hybrids, or red – and customers would like us to offer all we can in that palette. That is why we decided to test a new approach - make color series.

We will post our new seedlings in a new Dimetris Seedlings forum, separate them by categories – e.g. by color or particular features, and then assign numbers for each such category. Remember, these will be Seedlings – not to be confused with DS numbered hybrids that are better established. Eventually, the best of our new Seedlings will get a DS number, and then in time some may get a DS-name.

As many people are interested in Pink, we will start with the “Pink” series, comprising the hybrids of various pink tones, differentiated by patterns, accents and/or other features.
