I have a couple and the ones in the sun get quite purple.
You could be right. I hate that because I posted a photo on C. somaliensis and it was accepted. I will have to check further.
Just ask to have it moved. I posted an incorrectly identified plant too. Basically, they do not have time to check them all so we all have to tell one another when things seem to be incorrectly identified. I love this plant. The first year I had it and it died back to the dirt in the fall, I almost cried but it immediately started coming up again.
The friend that gave it to me told me what it was? Guess not. Mine is left outdoors all winter and comes back every spring. She had hers in an old egg basket and it would come back too.
I love Persian Shield. I have tried twice to grow unsuccessfully. As you are in Houston, I guess I can't blame it on my heat/humidity. Must be operator error.
i am loving the pictures!!
podster i agree with frogs looks like the one in the link. how neat! it is a fuzzy wandering jew. i love all of the wandering jew and that family!
A red blooming Christmas cactus. It was from the 25 cent dead plant shelf so I do not know the cultivar.
Podster, Plectranthus Mona Lavender is probably my favorite purple plant. A true shade lover, it is almost black. It blooms so long for me that it really only blooms every other year but what a show!!

look at that christmas cactus! mine has a little pink in foliage from sun but nothing amazing as that!!!!
amazing color on those aloes chantell!!!
I know - arent' they pretty? Never knew they even turned colors...can't take any credit as that was the color they were when I purchased them. Jeff is a wonderful seller on ebay - I've always been thrilled with his plants!!
podster you have such a wonderful collection of purple plants!
kelly
Thank you LDL, you just hit on my favorite color. Did I say I really liked purple? Must be an old lady thing...
Do you want a cutting or two of purple heart? If you do D-mail me back in next day or two? Have extra cuttings.
Liz,
SO good to "see" you here...hope you're feeling well!! Still keeping you in my prayers!! I know you've already been so generous with me but should you have a couple extra cuttings of that (is it easy to root?) I would be thrilled...I've been eye-balling it at my home depot for the last two weeks...LOL!! Let me know if you have enough to share...if not, no worries. The other plants you sent are doing exceptionally well...thank you again!!
