Description
___ Columnea gloriosa SEH#11001 A member of the Gesneriaceae (African Violet family) native to the cloud forests of Central and South America where it grows on mossy cliffs and as an epiphyte in trees. This is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with slowly creeping and long pendulous stems. Bright scarlet, tubular flowers with yellow throats appear at every leaf joint. My own collection from Central America where I found it growing in large trees of Rhododendron guatamalensis (just kidding of course, there is no such thing, I was on family holiday). This is a magnificent plant in flower, a truly beautiful species. ((+25?) RSBG $16.00-B
