''Achimenes erecta'' (syn. ''A. coccinea'') is also known as Cupid's bower, nut orchid, and magic flower. Despite its name, ''Achimenes erecta'', this plant is a trailing achimenes. It produces a display of bright red flowers and dark green foliage. The reddish green stem carries groups of hairy, heart-shaped leaves. The flowers last only a few days, but are produced over a period lasting all the way from June to October.
