Lonicera ciliosa aka Orange Honeysuckle

Lonicera ciliosa, commonly known as the orange honeysuckle or western trumpet honeysuckle, is a rare houseplant native to the forests of western North America. This deciduous shrub can reach heights of up to 6 meters (20 feet) and features hollow twigs. Its oval leaves, measuring 4-10 cm (1.6-3.9 inches) in length, are arranged oppositely on the branches, with the last pair on each twig fused to form a disk. The striking orange-yellow flowers, with trumpet-shaped blooms and five lobes, grow in whorls above the disk-leaf at the ends of shoots. These flowers, which appear in early summer, are followed by translucent orange-red berries that are less than 1 cm (0.39 inches) in diameter. As a twining climber, Lonicera ciliosa can reach a height of around 4 meters and showcases mid-green leaves. Its dense clusters of brilliant orange tubular flowers, measuring around 4 cm (1.57 inches) long with flared edges, add a vibrant touch to its appearance. When cultivated as a houseplant, the orange honeysuckle requires regular watering and thrives best when placed in direct light within a foot's distance from a window. It prefers well-draining soil and does not typically require additional fertilizers if repotted when it doubles in size. Belonging to the Lonicera genus, this plant species is a unique addition to any indoor garden and is native to Western North America.
