Flower of Episcia Reptans

We used to call it daun perak (silver leaf). This hanging plant has little but bright color of flowers (red or orange). A few days ago, I saw this blooming flower; so, I capture and share it for you. Visit Today's Flowers to see more beautiful flowers.

I’ve ever read that the leaves can be used to treat ulcers, but I’ve never tried it. I hope I won’t…

A beautifully composed shot and a lovely flower. I have never heard about its medicinal properties regarding treating ulcers, that's very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Haha, my mind was asking if the flower can cure some minor disease, until I read it and then my question was answered. Anyway I just thought because the name is already scientific. :-)

Tenho esta planta por todo o jardim, são três tipos de cores, existe uma de folhas bem escura, as outras vão do verde claro ao escuro, todas nascem esta florzinha vermelha. Ficam pendentes nos vasos e tem floração o ano todo. Adorei ver esta foto, vê-la de perto ficou fascinante!
Um grande abraço carioca!
