    Maybe this is another benefit of a trip the the college greenhouse? Maybe not. Regardless, it’s a beauty. And it lets me use a word that I never get to use… writhen!

    If I didn’t know better, I’d guess it was a Crassula of some sort. What is it?

      Sadly, I neglected to check the label. My thought was a gesneriad of some sort judging by the flower and its proximity to goldfish and lipstick plants in the collection. The leaves look like Crassula, but not the flower. I guess I’ll have to check on my next visit. 🙂

      I finally have an answer for you, Kris. This plant is a Gesneriad from Brazil (I guessed the family right at least 🙂 ) – its name is quite a mouthful: Nematanthus pycnophyllus. It doesn’t appear to have common name. But after a few practice rounds, it begins to roll off the tongue! NEE-MA-TAN-THUS PINK-NO-FY-LUS 🙂

    Imagine if there was a flower in each leaf nook 😍

    Thank you, Robin. Not sure what the plant is as I spaced out on checking the label. I’m guessing an exotic gesneriad?? You’re the second person who said WP dropped me. WP has been acting weird again of late. I often wonder about ‘that man behind the curtain.’ 😉

    That is indeed a beauty. Your photography is astounding.

    Is that a cactus of some kind?
