Episcia perhaps.

Episcia cupreata, I believe.

Very pretty!

entirely too seldom sold for whatever reason.

==>> maybe because they dont have tags .. lol ...

i googled the wholesaler site ... unless i missed it.. they dont even list it there ..

sometimes ... you get oddities in a delivery .... in any type of plant ... when the contract calls for say ... 10 thousand plants for lowes ... and the seller just starts throwing things in.. to make the number .... and MAYBE.. that is why it wasnt properly tagged or labeled ...

I checked their website and it wasn't on there. I did email them and got an answer today. They said Flame Violet but this website lead me to the proper name. Thanks to all.

I've suggested many times that Costa Farms is doing a terrible job of customer service and that their products should be avoided for a few weeks.

Their present tags are worthless, useless! But the tagging system is flawed, anyway.....they get misplaced, dropped, and swapped all the time. But the primary problem is that the information on the labels is shamefully insufficient.

Don't tell me that they can't design an informative STICKER that can be affixed to the containers somewhere in the automated production process.

I shall step off my soap box now. :-)

lol ...

along a similar vein .... which has nothing to do with this seller .... i once complained about tags ... to a third party wholesaler ... and they said.. they probably had printed a quarter million back when and they were going to use them up.. one way or another ... [i think in this case.. i asked why the tags said funkia.. rather than hosta]

Definitely Episcia, though I'd question whether or not its reputation as a good houseplant is well-deserved. As the poster above mentioned, lot of its cultivars need relatively high humidity. Some *cough* var. Cleopatra *cough* basically can't be grown outside of a greenhouse or a terrarium.

Hi guys,

It is an Episcia from our Exotic Angel Plants collection. We do have it on our website: http://www.costafarms.com/plants/flame-violet But unfortunately, it looks like I haven't done a good enough job writing it for it to pop up high enough on Google or other search engines.

The two varieties we're growing, I believe, are Pink Panther and Country Quilt.

Regarding the tags: Our tag manufacturers have minimum orders, so if we don't grow enough of a plant, it can't have a variety-specific tag. And certain retailers are very specific about tags and labeling and what we're allowed to do on our plants. That said, I know --- and readily admit --- that we can do a better job than we are now. We are working on improvements.

If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a shout.

Happy New Year,

Justin

Thank you. Through research, I've identified mine as Pink Panther. I appreciate the info.
