Lorry, if you mean the left corner, that's my main plant of 'Rob's Ragamuffin'. I love the ruffled, variegated leaves! (But my brother just said he thought it was "almost ugly" so there's no accounting for tastes. He redeemed himself by loving some of the others!) I've got a leaf or two started, but they're coming along very slowly.

It may be easier to see what I was talking about with this new method of putting down leaves in this picture... There's about an inch of stem (with top surface scraped) just below the surface with this leaf of 'Sure to Please', and there are ears forming densely all along that length. (A few ears are still not quite up... but I brushed away the soil and peeked.)
