Thanks!

I've never heard of that one and can't find any information googling. Hopefully someone will come along before long and will maybe recognize the name!

Could it possibly be Alpha Charlie? Maybe some of the ink got smudged . . . what do the leaves look like?

2manyplants - did you receive a plant, or leaves? What do the leaves look like?

Betcha it IS Alpha Charlie.YAY!!!

The way the A was written surely looked like an M, and when I look closer the l could very likely be an A.
Mystery solved...thank you!!!!!
I received a small gift plant in with my order...right now the leaves are medium green, heart-shaped, some with white edging.
Hope it is A.C...as he is very purty!
I managed to break several off while unpacking...plant doesn't look nearly as good now.
Oh, well, give him a few months...lol...

It couldn't hurt to send a message to the person that sent it, just to verify . . .
