Is is absolutely a fabulous flower! The Gesneriad, is it growing spcifically in Lincolnland only or can they grow in other places, like in the South? I'm located in Alabama down on the Gulf of Mexico. Just wondering. Your blog is fabulous, too! I enjoyed it.

Well, Mike, this is a purely tropical plant native to the wet tropics of Costa Rica. In grows here because we have a glasshouse devoted to exotics, our teaching collection. Even on the gulf the winter weather would be too cold and it would need protection, and clearly it requires too much moisture to be a house plant. This is probably why such a "looker" has not been commercially introduced into the horticultural trade.
