Hi,

I have this flowering plant of which I have unfortunately lost the
name. It has very small leaves and flowers, both of the same size.
Many long falling stems with many leaves, the size of a human nail.
Both the flower and the leaves look like waxed. The flower is bright
orange, and looks like a closed up bell, larger near the stem and
smaller toward the end. From what I have noticed, it loves lot's of
water and can flower year long.

If someone can indentify this flower, I'd appreciate greatly. A picture
would help, since I could confirm that it is really the one I am looking
for.

If not, could someone help me find a website that would carry a large
database with flower names and pictures?

Oh and yes, this is an inside plant.

Thank you in advance.

SH

Could that be it?

My guess is maybe a hoya. A search on Hoya or Asclepiadaceae should
garner you enough pictures to tell if I'm sending you in the right
direction.

Not a Hoya. Hoyas don't have that shape or color flower and they hate being
wet.

Does Dischidia ring a bell?

Too bad Lynne couldn't share with us what she thought it is or provide a
link that actually works.

I skimmed over the part about loving water. But you gotta admit I was
close they're both in the Asclepiadaceae family.

Oops, I thought that link would work. I was thinking of Manettia. If you go
to
www.plantcare.com and search for "Candy Corn Plant", that was the one I was
thinking of.
