JB--

Be careful making up names! Someone may sue you--that knows the real name--or,
worse yet, if someone hybridized that--and it actually has a real name.
It's OK if you refer to it that way in your own records.....just for fun.
This must be one of the cuttings I got at either Lowes or HD.

My second pot of the Red CC is now blooming. I think it is the same as the other pot.
I was hoping it would be more solid red....:o(. There must be a red that does not have
the white at the base of the bloom....will keep looking....

1--Close up of the bloom on the "other pot" of the red CC.
2--Close up of the bloom on the first pot I posted (above). Same? Yes?
3--One of the smaller pots of the Salmon CC now in full bloom. See my new plant behind it?
The "Rattlesnake Plant"? It is a Calathea. Shelled out $20 to buy it.

This ladder top, I always take pictures of plants on, sits next to my bed and holds all my
tennis shoes I wear. It is right by a bright, S-facing window--so a perfect spot for taking pictures w/o a flash.
Behind it is my closet door--I have to close it to make a nice back-drop.
