Well, rats, Gene! Do see if you can find it and add it to your list.
They are slow - think for most people in most places. I always
wonder just how long it took or how many plants it has taken to get
those massive displays one sees in the glossy mag photos of the
variegated sorts...if they were my plants, about 500 plants and an
equal number of years!
