Chirita
'Chastity'
A hybrid of C. longgangensis and
C. flavimaculata. |
|
Chirita
'Crossroads' (Okuto) is a rarely seen Chirita from Japan.
Stays compact and relatively small for a Chirita. The leaves
are slight spooned, a nice roundish shape, and have a silvery
patterning like it's C. sinensis parent. The hybrid's name
comes from the fact that the leaves grow two over two and
have longer stems making them appear like a "crossroads".

Chirita 'Kitaguni'
A cross between C. sinensis and C. eburnea. It has green
leaves with the same silvery veining that sinesis has,
but the best feature is the flowers! The flowers "drip"
from a large light yellow heart shaped pair of bracts the
gracefully arch from a tall stem, held well above the foliage
and well spaces around the plant.
