Last year I got Sinningia sp. 'Bahia' to bloom from seed in a few
short months. Despite producing tons of flowers it proved TOTALLY
RESISTANT to my hybridizing attempts. I also tried a couple of leaf
cuttings to experiment with propagation and they all fizzled out. I
kept this one in an enclosure and finally gave it some water, and look
what happened! After a year of waiting! LOL

My two original plants also awakened from dormancy about two weeks
ago, so I can say this species is worth growing & not as fussy as some
other Sinningias out there. I saved pollen from last summer, and I've
been using it on more Sinningias this year, so maybe I'll find
something compatible after all.
