    Wow those are all so beautiful. You definitely wouldn't need flowers with those leaf colors. :stew1:

    Glad you like them, I feel the same way!

    Got a better pic of Syngonium today. Wasn't happy with the other pic, which doesn't show what I see in person.

    Those are awesome! Excuse me for not saying so originally. I lost track of a few things/threads due to a personal issue.

    Love that Syngonium especially, looks Easter-ish! How timely for this month.

    Just noticed there is now a choice of "pink" for leaf color in the plant database. When you fellow fans of pink leaves get a minute, check to see if your plants have had this added to their description yet. Now we can search for pink leaves. What a very cool thing!

    Added a couple great pink plants to my collection recently, Peperomia clusifolia 'Jellie' and Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi. I put pics of each in the plants database.

    Peperomia clusifolia 'Jellie' sometimes looks purple, sometimes red/pink.
