gorgeous flower - please help me to ID it!
I got this plant as a gift 2 years ago. It only had 2 leaves at that time. Now it grew up to be at least 3 feet tall. It has a woody stem, big deep green leaves and large blood red flowers. It's growing in a big pot indoors. Please help me to ID this beauty.
