I've been growing this Columnea gloriosa for the past few years under conditions of low light and almost total neglect as a scraggly hanging vine with dull-green velvety leaves. I've been quite surprised that it has grown at all and extremely surprised when it started blooming a couple of weeks ago as it is no ugly duckling!

I was a bit surprised that there is no entry for this species in DG plant lists. I hope to make an entry for it and include this picture there as well.

If you know anything about this plant please post about it here as I'm now trying to mend my ways and give it the best culture I can.

Thanks,
