I think thats the name anyway. It blooms regularly, 2-3 times a year. Gorgeous fushia blooms that come in pairs and they always last about a month or so. I fell in love with it when I saw it at the NYC Flower show about 5 years ago. Did not regret getting it.
These are cell-phone pics. The plant is deep in the background of the terrarium in which I grow it. It currently has five blooms and two buds. It last bloomed before Christmas with 12 blooms.

It certainly looks like mine.
But i think these can get really large... the old growths on mine are 25 cm long, new growths are a lot thicker at the base, I'm expecting them to get at leat twice as long.
Wow. I thought it was getting bigger and bigger. Time for a bigger tank!
Actually, since the plant has firmly attached itself to the background of the terrarium, there is no way for me to remove it without incurring major damage to the plant or the tank.
It's stuck for now.
