Kohleria eriantha

Now THIS is a Kohleria! The large flowers are about the size of a quarter across and you can see from the photo that it produces an abundance of them.
 Grown in ample light it will stay reasonably compact. The green leaves with red edges show a bit of a silvery color which contrasts nicely with the fuzzy orange flowers with the yellow face dotted with more orange spots.
The closeup shows the fine little hairs on the flower, some still holding on to moisture from the last watering.
