My Tiny Garden - Calceolaria aka Lady's Purse.

What a fun plant to have! The flowers are like little pillows - they are empty inside... just like an inflated bag :)
Intensive orange and reds, spots, all in a funny shape small, velvet bloom.

If you have one or want to get one because they looked so pretty in the shop - get it. Just remember that after it is done blooming the plant will slowly die. It is an biennial plant and in nature it will produce little seeds and start growing on its own in the next season.

If you decided to get it anyway - keep it in bright light, but not direct sunlight and water after the soil is starting to dry out. Don't worry if you forget to do that. The plant will tell you when it is thirsty - the leaves will become more limp. After watering they will turn to normal.
With good care it will bloom for weeks!
