Nematanthus, Goldfish Plant: Hailing from Brazil, Nematanthus, Goldfish Plant has to be seen to be believed. Often displayed in a hanging basket or as a flowering table plant, this one gets its name from its bright, bulbous flowers which truly resemble goldfish. Whether they are red, orange, or yellow, the fish-shaped flowers appear to be leaping with joy over the dark waves (dark and shiny foliage on strong stems) beneath them.

- Care: The Goldfish Plant is easy to care for, drought resistant, and promises flowers throughout the year. It needs bright, indirect sunlight. Luckily, the plant can tell you when it needs a little more sun: Its leaves curl up as an indicator. Soil should be neither too dry nor too soggy, and water should be applied at a lukewarm temperature. You can prune and repot your plant as necessary, but the Goldfish Plant, on the whole, is... well, a whole lot easier to care for than a goldfish is!
