I'm not sure what variety of cordyline this is, but when I saw it, I just had to have it. :)

Wow...that's beautiful!
Are you sure it's a Cordyline?
Kinda looks like a Bromeliad!

Well, I bought it at Walmart. The sticker said cordyline, but I suppose anything is possible. Maybe I'll post this on the ID forum, too...

Either way, when I saw it, I just had to grab it. It always amazes me when foliage is pink, purple or orange. :)

That a beauty!
I'm pretty sure it's a tri colored Moses in the Cradle.. I have no idea what the botanical name is...it's GORGEOUS by any name!

I was thinking of the Rhoeo, too, but thought it was just *too* colorful.....if that's what it is, indeed (good chance it is!) it's the nicest one I've seen to date!!

I would have bought that too, if I'd seen it, Kelly!!

Hi :)

Ok, so I posted this on the Identification forum, and it turns out it's a R. bermudensis variegata, or a variegated Moses in the Cradle that's more pink than red. Nan, maybe your Walmart is carrying it now, too?

Darn, I should have grabbed the other one for you guys! Hopefully your Walmarts will be carrying them, too. :)

So, I'm seeing these things everywhere now. My local Home Depot had a bunch of them, too!

Edited to say: so did Target!
