Columnea herthae

Columnea herthae, commonly known as Hertha's Columnea, is a captivating trailing gesneriad native to the rainforests of Central and South America. It produces cascading vines adorned with small, lance-shaped leaves and striking tubular flowers in vivid shades of red and orange, making it an exceptional choice for hanging baskets and indoor displays.
