This is the closest I can find to the one I grew this year.  It really
outdid my expectations.  It grew almost 4 feet tall and the row of
four plants is about 6 feet long!  It's not the common rosette - it is
almost bushy with deeply cut teal covered leaves with brilliant purple
veins.  Highly recommended.

While searching for an image, I came upon this site.

Thought it was appropriate with all of the plant ID we do here.
