My daughter has been using my greenhouse to revive a few of her houseplants and I noticed that the goldfish plant has done exceptionally well growing in the cool conditions. When I was at the POS orchid show this Janurary, Dan Newman of Hang Gardens had some species Columneas (goldfish plant relatives) for sale, so I bought one. It's now in bloom and, I think, absolutely spectacular.
Columnea flexiflora, the flowers are about 3" long and about an inch across at the mouth. The buds are very dark red, the open into brilliant flowers.
