Streptocarpus

 
Streptocarpus - copyright owned by Jas

A purple, Streptocarpus (Cape Primrose) flower and bud close-up.

Although having the same kind of leaf as the Primrose, the Streptocarpus is not in the same family, but is related to St Paulias (African Violets), Columneas and Achimenes.

Grown as a houseplant in England.

Thanks for viewing:)
