gloxinia
Velvety houseplant bloom
Gloxinia is a tropical plant prized for its large, velvety, bell-shaped flowers in vivid colors—deep purple, red, pink, or white.
Native to Brazil, it's grown as a houseplant or greenhouse specimen: The gloxinia on the windowsill bloomed all summer.
The flowers often have ruffled edges and spotted or bordered patterns.
