No, not measles. But the intoxicating rosy pink spots inside the throat of a Gloxinia. I love the contrast between the spots on white and on the deeper pink. And all set off by shiny fuzzy hairs! Kohleria is a New World genus of the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. The plants are generally tropical herbs or subshrubs with velvety stems and foliage and brightly colored flowers with spots or markings in contrasting colors. They are rhizomatous and commonly include a period of dormancy in their growth cycle. Because of their colorful and exotically patterned flowers, Kohlerias were very popular in England and Europe in the 19th Century. Many species and hybrids were lavishly illustrated in horticultural magazines of the day.
