Hi Lori, I used to have a couple...but I left it outside during a freeze and its dead now :o( I bought both of mine from Home Depot and Lowe's...I've seen them on occasion at Walmart. They have some online vendors that sell them too.
This is what it used to look like when I had one in bloom. They are pretty easy to care for...bright light but not direct sun(at least mine didn't like direct sun). I watered it when it got slightly dry and fertilized lightly during the growing season. There is also a Gesneriad forum just for them here's the link

Wow, that is beautiful, now i really want to find one.

I bought a small one at Walmart a couple months ago for $2. I have it behind sheers in a West window with a CFL light on it. I have been treating it like an African Violet and watering from the bottom. It's put on new growth and almost doubled in size.

Hi Lori,

The plant we are talking about here is an Aeschynanthus (proun. es-can-nan-thus). If you want to buy them by mail order you can find them at the following:

Lyndon Lyons
or
Rob's Violets

They both ship to Canada.

Also, sometimes you can find one on eBay.

I hope this helps.

Also, call your local greenhouse/nursery/florist. They are fairly readily available, and can often be special-ordered and gotten in, without shipping, in just a week or so. They are pretty easy care, as long as they can get decent light (for a house plant).

Cuttings will also root in water. I took some cuttings that rooted, and they actually flowered sequentially while in water. Probably panicked.... Now planted in soil, and are putting out branches.
