🐟 Why is it called Gold Fish Plant? This is what the flower looks like...

• 🐡 Q: I saw this beautiful plant called Gold Fish, with extremely ornamental leaves with bright mauve underneath, really stunning! But what do the flowers look like? What is it about Gold Fish?
• 🐡 A: Nematanthus wettsteinii x fritschii Bijou - is called Goldfish Plant because its bright orange, tubular flowers look just like tiny, plump goldfish swimming through the foliage!
• 🐡 The blooms have a rounded, slightly curved shape, with a glossy texture that mimics the shimmer of fish scales. As they dangle gracefully from the stems, they create the illusion of a school of little fish darting among the lush, trailing green leaves.
• 🐡 Beyond its fun name, this plant is easy to grow, thrives in bright, indirect light, and blooms year-round with proper care. A playful, eye-catching beauty for hanging baskets and indoor gardens!

What is the difference between Clerodendrum schmitii and Clerodendrum wallichii?

• 
  ⭐️ The main difference between Clerodendrum schmitii and Clerodendrum wallichii lies in the color of their flower stalk and a slight variation in their growth habits, though both share similar overall characteristics.
• 
  ⭐️ Clerodendrum schmitii - also known as Chains of Glory or Light Bulb Flower, is a rare species that features elegant white, fragrant flowers held in loose, pendulous panicles. These blooms are showy against the plant's dark green foliage and typically hang down a foot and a half or more. This winter bloomer often has two flowering periods during the season and is distinguished by its striking red stems, adding a touch of drama to its graceful form.
• 
  ⭐️ Clerodendrum wallichiii, also known as Bridal Veil, has a similar cascading growth habit with fragrant white flowers in loose panicles, which appear around Thanksgiving. The flowers are beautiful, but the key difference is in its green stems. This plant grows up to 7 feet tall and has narrow, pointed leaves. It blooms from fall to spring, preferring to be protected from wind and hot afternoon sun.
• 
  ⭐️ While both plants feature fountain-like shapes and are covered in flowers during the winter to spring season, the red flower stalks of Clerodendrum schmitii and the green ones of Clerodendrum wallichii set them apart.
