rcn48~~ Sorry it took me so long to get back to you!

I don't have any good pics of the 'Chocolate Wings' Rodgersia....The leaves on mine do start out quite chocolate colored, but tend to go green after a month or so....I have pics of it only in the green leaved stage.. :-( I had purchased it hoping that it held the lovely darker color, like Cimicifuga 'Brunette' or 'Black Negligee' but it really didn't in my garden...it might have been to bright of a spot though...maybe with more shade it would do better?? Here is a pic of it - well after the brown color has faded - and once it was in full bloom. Still a nice plant, but not quite what I was looking for!
