Houseplants in bloom

Couple of little gems in bloom at the moment.
First up is Aeschynanthus marmoratus......

This is Kalanchoe (manginii I think)

Reminds me of Lapageria rosea a little (maybe because I'm still waiting for those seeds to germinate).

Thanks for looking.

Neat plants. I'm not familiar with them. I like to pick up different plants. Nice photos too.

Thanks Imartiny!
They're both small blooms of about 20mm or so on succulent plants.
The common name of the Aeschynanthus is Zebra vine.

Aren't the blooms strange on the Aeschynanthus marmoratus!
I had to toss ours last year, after placing outdoors over summer it accumulated a colony of little weird bugs that I could not kill off, so it's now compost

Beautiful little flowers. I also enjoy my tropical plants and cacti aside from the orchids.

Thank you for the unusual flowers

Not familiar with the first one, but have seen the second one. The first one almost looks like a bulbo.
