Beautiful Flowers!

I have recently expanded my plant collection to include some Episcias. I purchased the longwood variety which arrived very well packaged and already had several flower buds. I worried that they would bloom given the stress of transport, but all of them did flower. They are a gorgeous orangey red which looks fantastic against the dark silver green leaves! Very happy with my purchase!
