Aeschynanthus marmoratus "Zebra Vine"

Twin flowers? But I can't see the zebra stripes?

This will make more sense of the common name Sticki........

It certainly has lovely markings and I like the flower, and its colour, just doesn't resemble zebra stripes!

Good job that I didn't name it then!!!!!

Easier to say than -aeschynanthus-marmoratus tho!

Naming plants would be rather a nice job!

Bat plant nice and simple!

I can spell it from memory too now!

I can spell bat plant from memory!!

I would have to work on aes-chy-nanthus then the marmoratus - reminds me of marmite!

Mmmmm, Marmite.......

Yes I love it. Real marmite baby!

But not Vegimite - yukkk!

When we have finished with the food Luvvies......yuk to both veggie and marmite..lol..but the plant is something else.....its gorgeous......

It was a little gem, but is now becoming rather a large gem Milky!

very nice Meanie,

I've just passed (so dropped in) the "very expensive garden centre" where I got this from. They have some very nice Columnea arguta (£12) and Alsobia dianthiflora (£8.50) in.

Were you tempted to get one?

(btw never tried veggiemite)

Don't bother Sticki - it's kak!!
I am, but I'm waiting until the weekend to consider the choice. At the moment I'm leaning towards this one......

That is very nice, does it go outside? How big is it?

Deffo an indoor plant Sticki - it trails about 20cm'ish.

I like it! Very special little plant

As is the Columnea Sticki!

Well I rather like that too, trailing and with those spectacular flowers

out of the two Meanie i think that i prefer the Alsobia dianthiflora the white flower is spectacular !

Tough call eh!
The Columnea could trail a metre or more, not sure about the ultimate length of the Alsobia......

I do like the White one but I think I like the red better.

There you go then Sticki - treat yourself (again)!!!

Computer is broken - will have to replace that first!

Can it not be fixed?

Another beauty Meanie .. I,m beginning to think you live in Kew Gardens ...... BTW .. I love Marmite ..

Now that would be nice Amy!

Not sure meanie, it will cost a fair amount to find out and it might be better to put that money towards the new one, had this one quite a while, used it and filled it up, the buttons aren't working any more, worn out I think.

There comes a time I suppose.......

I think so. I have had my money's worth out of this one so it's not so bad!

Question is do I go for apple or normal?

That's a matter of taste (excuse the pun).

Will have to go shopping then and have a bit of a play!
