I don't understand why people often refuse to include a zone in their posts or identities. Pictures are great but including other information really speeds up the process of answering questions. As much pertinent info as possible.

I would like to ID the MATCHWEED into oblivion. I too live in Florida and hate this noxious weed. It can take over your yard and grows under and over any existing grasses like Bahia or St. Augustine. Cute huh? It is so cute, I may just try to kill it! This post was edited by homegrown55 on Thu, Nov 27, 14 at 17:50

Hosta Haven, Candice, I started to grow two Dancing in the Rain single-eye plants, they have leaf tears and have leaves melting and drying away. I did not realize initially the thin state of their leaves, gave them a 10% (of 10%) bleach bath for one hour following recent postings, but rinsed in clear water, and now that. I am surprised that they are not as sturdy as Blue Umbrellas, the lot of white might have something to do with it. Bernd

Hi everyone - Gorjush - I was about to say your plant looked like one of the Calatheas but I see you've ID'd it yourself anyway. Did you know it gets the name of "Prayer Plant" from its habit of folding the edges of the leaves together at night like bringing the hands together to pray? I'm not familiar with the name Neo. 'Shanghai', nor does it appear on the BCR, so it's an unregistered name. However I think your plant could possibly be Neo. 'Vodoo Doll' which is a Grant Groves hybrid from Neo. 'Cranberry' x Neo. 'Purple Star' and appears on the FCBS Photo index at position 3869 in the Neoregelia cultivar listing, and also on the BCR See: http://registry.bsi.org/?genus=NEOREGELIA&id=7718#7718 All the best, Nev.
