Columnea chiricana "Hot Pink" from the uplands of Chiriquí Province, Panamá. The species ranges from northwestern Costa Rica discontinuously into western Colombia and occurs from lowland rainforest up into upper montane cloud forests. This cool-growing ecotype is one of most attractive of all columneas when in full flower. Image: ©F. Muller 2018
