I often post a bloom of the day on Facebook, many of them are Episcias or assorted gesneriads.

Celene, those are gorgeous! I grew a few Episcia's at one time but it's been a couple of years now. I used to have four plant stands with lights for growing AV's and other Gessies.

I'm growing three Episcias, but I won't be growing them for much longer unless I start remembering they are there. When spring comes, it's all outside and very little stays inside. I tried growing them outside last summer and one did o.k., but the other two did not.
Here's the one that managed outdoors. I think it's usually called 'Prayer Plant'.

IME, they do better indoors unless you have a super protected, bright spot that gets no direct sun. That plant looks like it's doing very well, though.

Not a new photo, but I love this plant. Sarah Beth, a Baker hybrid. I actually met their daughter, Sarah Beth ;)

needrain, that's a really pretty Episcia! It looks very similar to a small plant I had a few years ago:

That looks Slinky Pink-esque. Normally SP has browning blotches on the leaves, not plain frosty green ones, but I've seen it sold both ways.

Celene, your pix of Slinky Pink are beautiful! Never saw a pink one. Mine was very colorful leaved with blood red blooms. I love both! I wonder what all colors they come in????
