Re: unusual holiday plants?

**N* S* <s*@earthlink.net>**

Here's something really different. It was featured in the Julia  
Hofley's house plant program at OK.  Stromanthe triostar - stunning   
cream, green and pink strap like leaves  with deep burgundy  
undersides . It folds up at night and shows off those undersides.   
Plant it in a bright red pot and you got the holiday covered.

PS  For a south west theme at Xmas the orange pointsettias are smashing.
