My search for my mystery plant has led me to this spelling: pedilanthus(devil's backbone)my plant is varigated and when it blooms, it looks like a tiny redbird.it is a succlent and grows very fast, to a lush full plant.does well in light or dark. Heat will turn the leaves pink. Leaves are thin and wavy. Any one have a clue as to its species?
