Request identification

Question

New Houseplant I just bought this houseplant. Can you identify it for me? The largest leaves are 5-6", a bit "furry" and has a small orange flower. I have attached a photo to help.

Answer
Marilyn,

Two common names for your plant are Flame Violet or Chocolate Soldier. The latin name is Episcia cupreata.

Below are 2 websites with growing info including a video.
