Arrived with a bloom stalk!
When I got this plant not only was it a very well established strep but it even had a bloom stalk with buds that arrived completely undamaged from shipping. Very impressed! Plant has maintained a nice size, not too big but not too small and very hardy. A great hybrid.
Lovely plant...
I got my Bristol's Xolo over a year ago and it's been growing nicely, but this month I finally got my first flower (actually three flower spikes) and it's SO beautiful. My others are blooming as well, but such a great plant. Looking forward to purchasing a few more for my collection. Thanks!
Beautiful and exactly what I wanted
I didn't expect this plant to bloom so soon after delivery (esp since it seemed on the smaller side) but was beyond excited when I saw buds. Holy moly it's blooms are gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for. In certain lighting the blooms look black, in others you can see the inky purple hue. They are stunning and the blooms look soft and velvety. So far it seems 2 blooms/stalk, and they last a very long time before they wilt. The leaves still don't look as healthy as my other streps, they look like the are on the verge of turning yellow/brown but maybe that's just it's coloring? I wish there was an African violet with this bloom color.
Love this plant...but...
I had this beauty for a short while (my bad that I lost it) It bloomed it's lovely DARK blooms for me. Impressive to say the least. I had to evacuate because of one of our California wildfires and it got too dry to come back. Now I'm ordering it again. It had so much potential.
repeat review
This is my second review for this plant because it keeps getting better and better. Abundant blooms and unbelievable color. I wanted to share this with you.
