| Yesterday, I bought my wife a little Calceolaria in a 4" pot in front of a CVS store. I've been fascinated by these little, puffy, yellow, brown-speckled flowers ever since a famous gardener in Palo Alto showed them to me fifty years ago. But I've never grown one. So I have it on the window sill. What next? Pot it up in a month when the weather is safely warm, and place it in a semi-shaded spot? Will it flower through the summer?

| Species? Looks like cool, moist, frost-free shade is the environment. Nifty looking plant. Do you have a photo? Would love to see it. |

| Sorry, I have no photo, but the web site you referred me to has a photo which is very much like my plant. Wonderful little plant. |
