Can anyone ID this

Post by redcrx »

I went shopping today for a Touch of Class and bought something else. The tag was missing but I knew I had seen pictures of something similar. After looking in the library I'm torn between Toy Soldier and Deja Blu but I've never seen either in person. Any opinions? Or is it something else?

I'd vote for Deja Blu - but mine has never gotten that white 'lightning bolt' between the center and margin.
I'd gladly trade you. ;)

It really looks like El Capitan to me. Pics at the Hosta Library are very close.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. You folks are great. I'm sorry I forgot to mention an important item. I said the tag was missing but there was a fragment of it in the pot. The name ends in "an". It must be El Capitan.

I had forgotten all about Li'l Abner. I have it and my own pictures look just like this.

Thanks again.
