Pocketbook FLower, Calceolaria crenatiflora
Hi all,
On the day that I went to the New York Botanical Gardens and took all those pics of the Aloe's and a few Orchids, I also found and brought this little plant home with me. Its Calceolaria crenatiflora, I think. At first I thought it was a Gesneriad, but later found out its in the family Calceolariaceae which turns out to be a sister group of the Gesneriads.
It is also called lady's purse, slipper flower and pocketbook flower, or slipperwort.
If anyone has experience with this, please let me have some of your know-how because I have no idea what to do with it really.
Thanks.
