22. golden foxglove Titanotrichum oldhamii

This one has sometimes been classified under a different family, but for now it is a gesneriad. It's hardy where I am, so I have one on the balcony.... but in order for it to bloom, it has to have steady moisture, which you might know by now, is pretty much a miracle at my place.... Instead I get the lovely propagules :-( (It propagates via rhizomes and propagules. Seeds are hard to come by)

I'm hoping that what I see on the plant outside right now are buds..... Photo attached.
