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.

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.

The name of this episcia is Silver Skies it has silver tiny leaves and it is considered a miniature episcia. It is so cute and so easy to grow. Don’t let the picture fool you. This episcia can grow into a very large plant!

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.

The name of this episcia is Jim’s Golden Eagle. It has brown/bronze leaves with cream veins. Here is a picture of the Mother plant. I was told it blooms red/orange flowers. It ha sent bloomed for me yet, I am hoping it will bloom this summer. I will post pictures as soon as it blooms.

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.
