Yes, asleep - it is the only one I have and it still lives. I will visit your shameless plug! lol! Paul - your leaf does look like some of the leaves on the Exotic Angel site so I think you found it! Now I have to renew my search! Do you think the first photo I posted is Black Maranta as it first emerges from the soil or do you think it is the green? The original plant was no longer at Wave Hill when I went back so I can't check on it. I agree that calathea are much fussier than maranta. I've had great luck with maranta until last year when the marasela developed leaf spot, something I never had before. I threw it out but maybe too late. They are still alive but barely. I cut them all down. If I find replacements, I'll throw them all out.

Thank you all - so helpful! Mamorella, could you by any chance share a photo of the extra wide border? I am intrigued. I plan to layer a heriz Persian rug over it (too small to stand alone in the space) so don't know if an extra wide border would work, but I would love to see it. Busybee, I appreciate the advice. This area definitely gets some sun (one of the dog's favorite lounging spots). But I guess one benefit of a square is that I can rotate the rug pretty easily, so hopefully I will get a decent amount of time out of it. Definitely something to think about, though. Thanks again!

Black Gold is the proper name of the OP's photo. Somewhere along the line it started being called Black Coral. So while Black Coral is the common name, Black Gold is its correct name. What is commonly called Black Gold, is actually Compacta. This confused me so bad, but the in house experts got me straight! They know so much about these plants and are so helpful.
