This picture was taken on May 1st (Winnipeg, Zone 3) The plant was gifted
to me last summer, and just maintained itself at about 5 inches high. It's
in a shady spot under cedar trees on the north side of my house. It's
already about 6 inches high, but I have no idea if it flowers, or how it
propagates, or if it even gets any bigger than it already is. Anyone??

Bodhi chard, maybe?

Actually, it looks like a tropical, but I doubt if one would survive

I don't know if it's called that because of the red veins or because someone
