Love the catalogue very tempted to buy the lot!! Would like to see your RHS book before purchasing poss 2 copies on internet. Local A1 bookshop cannot trace & DK Publishers have no knowledge of it either. Help please any book shop or garden centre in N Herts where I can see it?

 

Unfortunately the book is now out of print - we'll let you know when a new book becomes available.

I am really pleased with the Streptocarpus i recently ordered. Pity there wasn't one called Alice as i would have bought it as this is the name of my horse, my pride and joy. I have since decided to upgrade my house plants to more exotic species and have just placed an order for some more plants. Excellent catalogue and web site and great plants.

I have bought my namesake and will be ordering Wendy & Paula(my sisters)when my catalogue arrives. What a shame there isn't an Ellinor for my mother or an Isobel and Sarah-Jane for my Grandmothers.I will also be looking at the US site as one of my sisters lives in Santa Monica LA. I have thouroughly enjoyed looking around your website and have to congratulate you on the amount of information available not to mention the photos. I think that everything I have seen is extremely accurate and it has been a pleasure to visit this site. I have no doubt I'll be back on it once the catalogue arrives. Thanks & Regards Kimberley Dove

I am an old customer of your company. Unfortunately, four streptocarpus plants that I bought, had passed away. But I still have 30 varieties which most of them seem to adapt to the hot weather here. I've got several mature and dry seed pods. But I couldn't see any seeds inside the long and thin pods. Could anyone tell me what I should do to collect the seeds ?

Congratulations on a well designed & intuitive website. Just one comment - could you add a link at the bottom of each part of the separate Streptocarpus Catalogue listings to enable one to jump between parts (eg from Streptocarpus varieties A-G to H-N) without going back to the catalogue main page.

 

Thanks for the suggestion - consider it done!
