Identify a plant
spun 12 wrote:
... I have a plant I would like identified. I tried looking for a picture of this plant on a couple of Web sites, but I couldn't find one. The plant has very distinctive look so, I hope, it shouldn't be too difficult to identify it from a mere description. The plant has elongated roundish leaves. Top surfaces of the leaves are green, bottom surfaces are violet/purple. The leaves are visibly ruffled and the edges seem to wrap up a bit. Every now and again the stem splits into three stalks - the middle stalk continues to grow up, while the side ones hold the leaves. Looks like every split is rotated 90 deg relative to the previous one. Does anyone know what's the name of this plant? Hey that sounds like a plant that I have the lobelias cardinalias (cardinal)I just I guess I know Florida Driftwood has a pic thats where I got mine ... Yes, they have a picture of lobelias cardinalias on their Web site, but it doesn't look similar to my plant (not a very good picture though). What I see on the picture doesn't seem to have any purple/violet on undersides of the leaves. My plants leaves have very pronounced deep violet undersides. The leaves on the picture are more elongated and wrap towards the ground. My plant's leaves are ruffled and pretty much horizontal (parallel to the ground), only their edges wrap upwards a little. -- Best regards, Andrey Tarasevich |
