GOLDFISH PLANT







I wanted to make my garden more cheerful and bought a couple of new plants from my regular florist.  The Goldfish Plant above is now sitting prettily on my shoe rack. Look closely at the flowers and you will see that they bear a resemblance to goldfish.  Hence the name.

Common name: Columnea, Goldfish Plant
Scientific name: Columnea gloriosa
Family: Gesneriaceae, Gesneriad
