OH Man, I am drooling. That is beautiful. Those red petioles going into the veins are a sight. I gotta start a wish list to remind myself. Need to find a drooling emoticon.

That's WONDERFUL! Your own cultivar? Available commercially anywhere?

In my garden I would surround her with white marble chips to really set it off! "Lady In Red" PERFECT!! I love the red veining just into the leaf. That's art!

Lady in Red - Parentage

Post by Rob »

Hello everyone,

I don't know about the parentage.
It came from Danny Van Eechaute, who acquired it at last year's convention. It was introduced by R. Whitmore. He didn't breed it either. Still some tracing back to do.

Greetings,

Rob
