One of my faves :-)

Codonanthes are usually found growing on or in ants nests (in the tropics). They are shallow-rooted and like to dry between waterings, which suits me just fine :-) The cultivar "Paula" is a very good grower - leaves closely spaced and very succulent. Very easy to propagate too - just take a pair of leaves attached to a bit of stem, and pot it up to root under a dome or in a baggie etc.

Codonanthes have been crossed with nematanthus to form differently shaped flowers... and whereas most codonathe flowers are essentially white, nematanthus brings some orangey color to the mix.
