Such a clear shot, Sue.

Do you collect these? I have just bought a bunch. Some variegated. Very cool. They are hardy here outside in winter and they are almost indestructable. I left one outside in my car for about 2 weeks in such heat. The plant was so fried dead. I watered it and it actually came back. I was so shocked.

I have a few, I bought a six pack of Crystal plants earlier this year. I've lost a couple but am really enjoying them.

The variegated ones sound lovely!

WOW What a great selection. I never see very many here. Maybe 6 at a nursery. They also have gotten more expensive. Up to $8 to $10 for a 4 inch plant.

Here is the variegated leaf. I can't wait till they get bigger.

That's stunning! I want one :) I've never seen a variegated one for sale before.

I got it from here. I got several variegated but that one was the best. I need to look at the name tomorrow.
