Tropicanna hit it on the head. I have a couple of them myself from Plant Delights. Pretty EEs!

Recieved a second one from a friend that was a lot more variegated than mine and had more colors, which I liked better.

I would love to see it...I know the regular wentii is hardy to zone 7b, I wish I had a couple more of the variegated ones to try out over winter....their backsides are so colorful

Will try to get pictures of them and post tomorrow.

Gothqueen, My zone is right on the edge. we can hit 12-15 degrees in winter every once in a while. Normally in 20's. Our real problem is the wet along with the cold in the winter. I find bulbs rotted or half rotted-we have sandy soil over deadpan clay. That is why I always keep one in greenhouse unless they are hardy to zone 7.
