this plant is called "Careless Love" notice there are several stems that revert to other kinds. On this one plant there is "Cranberry Salad" top center with the spots.The "Line" on the upper left side and bottom(yellow). The stems in the center are "Careless LOve"Streaked red and yellow. And a solid Red form on the lower left.This is how many new colors develop..they take cuttings and they stay somewhat true...sometimes revert though.Thats all the fun of these.
