Title: House plant with pink bell shaped flowers
Post by: mark smyth on September 15, 2011, 11:37:22 PM: I just in from giving a talk where I obtained a house plant I have never seen before.

It has succulent type leaves and large pale pink bell shaped flowers. The anthers form the hammer.

Sorry no photo of the flowers

I need to repot it. Looks like I can keep it outside in the summer and autumn months but it must be frost free over the winter
