This plant has orange blossoms that have yet to fully open and also has a hard, woody stem. I purchased this at a local indoor garden in Beaumont, Tx. Thank you for your time!  |

| Pretty! I'm not sure but it reminds me of Orange Trumpet Creeper (Pyrostegia venusta) ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| My first impression from the color of the bloom and the shape of the leaf is that it is a milkweed. "Asclepias tuberosa Orange Butterfly Weed". I have never seen one in a pot but we plant the seed here to support the Monarch butterfly. Maybe someone else will weigh in on this. I believe mellie is right on. |
