I use to have Chocolate Soldier a few years ago and I lost it. So I purchased another one from two different places. Some how it doesn’t look the same to me. The Chocolate soldier I had didn’t have any pink on it. May be its the light it gets? Any way here are a few pictures.

Just wanted to show pictures of the cuttings I take off of my plants when I sell them on ebay. Right now I am selling Begonia cuttings on ebay. I don’t know when I will sell episcia cuttings; maybe next spring in 2013.

Another beautiful pink/mauve leaved episcia. I just love the episcias with the quilted mauve leaves; they are so much easier to grow then the other pink episcias like cleopatra, pink brocade etc… Below is a picture of  Ruby Red Dress a must have episcia.

Episcia Karlyn is one of the old heirloom varities. It blooms orange/peach flowers with a yellow throat. The leaves are a brown/bronze color with light cream veins. I purchased this one in the late 70’s.

Episcia Flamingo

OK My episcia flamingo is blooming a few different colors.  During the winter I took stolons off of the mother plant and the starter plants have been blooming hot pink and then yellow  flowers! The Mother plant bloomed pink and two of the starters bloomed like the Mother plant (pink). Any way here are a few pictures. If the starter plants keep blooming yellow then I will call them flamingo sport. But I will wait to make sure they keep blooming yellow. Below are pictures of the starters that are blooming yellow and the last picture of flamingo is blooming hot pink.
