    Hello! I am fairly new here ... I bought a plant at Home Depot on a discount because it was dying. It is a pretty thing ... leaves VERY similar to the Bird of Paradise. The only difference is the flower ... it is also orange like the BOP, however the flowers grow straight up, then open from the top down. There is a touch of blue in there. The pot was labeled Cineraria, which obviously it is not. But I have no clue what it might be. I will try to take a picture of it tomorrow as it is at my office. Any ideas what it might be? Thanks a million! Peace ~ Ang

    PS .... it is about 24 inches tall at the top of the leaves and the flower is higher.
