14. orange caudex Sinningia cardinalis
well this is one of my favorite Sinningias. It is compact-growing, with mildly fuzzy apple-green leaves, red flowers, and a reddish brown tuber that's usually visible above ground. I find that it's intensely drought resistant - it's never even looked limp..... A good compact plant for growing as a houseplant.

This photo is of a 2 or 3 year old plant.

There's a white clone too, which I would love to get some day....
