This is in answer to Toni's question about how the leaves of Callisia differ when grown in the sun. Well, to begin with, keep in mind that I am partially color blind, but the leaves look as follows: The leaves have what I call a (maroon?) blush along the edges and down the center of the leaf. The leaves also seem to be somewhat thicker than the ones grown in more shaded areas. They actually look more like a Bromeliad when grown like this. Love them either way!

Ken, I'm right here :0) Ofcourse it's a 'Sherwood Compact' but if I would tell this in the beginning this topic was done by my answer and that would be a shame ;0) It's a good thing to check our members knowledge once and a while. 'Jakobsen' is much differend: It's needle colour is more darker green because it's a cross with Pinus nigra. Also it's growing habit is more sprerading and it will lose it's inner needles on older wood which give's it a more or less baldy look...

Well I came up with a few of my own.... I googled...... :) Matteuccia struthiopteris (ostrich fern) Aquilegia, Song bird Columbine Chelone, Snakehead, turtle head Eupatorium rugosum, White Snakeroot Monarda, Beebalm, Horsemint bergenia (pigsqueaks) lilum tiger lily Ligularia, Leopard plant Tricyrtis hirta, Toad lily Tradescantia, Spiderwort Prenanthes alba (rattlesnake root) Ligularia (leopard plant) Viola pedata, Bird-foot Violet Lysimachia clethroides, Gooseneck loosestrife Asplenium ebenoides (dragon fern) Cimicifuga ramosa (snakeroot) Any others?????? :)

@blakrab Centex, is there no flower photo? as it will be lot more helpful,too few leaves.. The plant slightly reminds me of Plumbago zeylanica the doctorbush, we used it as herbs for flu, myalgia and other ailments alike, hence the local name "encok" leaves (myalgia leaves). could it be that? I wonder.. How ever, if it is indeed P zeylanica, we mostly used it topically, as some said it can be toxic, although I've seen recipes of using it boiled and drunk as tea eta: I think I will add this link as a picture example
