This is an example of a Kohleria growing in a hanging basket. This variety (Kohleria 'Dark Velvet') has a tendency to get rather tall and the stems tend to flop over at some point. Last year I thought, I'd make lemonade out of lemons and put it in a hanging basket. This is actually the original plant from my very first Kohleria cutting from three years ago. Not only was it my first Kohleria, it also was my first Gesneriad. 3 AVs followed and now it's a collection of dozens of species and varieties. The little cutting that would.
