    I thought this was going to be about Daniel and Eric. Like them, the one I have seen, the other I haven't. The one on the right I think might be called Strobilanthes. It's not rare, somebody else will know.

    :)
    Nice touch there Ron!
    The purple handsome guy I agree is Strob. I've looked it up since you sent me the id.
    Thanks.
    No luck yet on the other one though.

    The first plant does have really interesting leaves. When I looked at the little pic before opening it up I thought the leaves were solid with white between the green; I thought it was just a begonia leaf. When I opened up the image and saw that it was space between the finely cut leaf sections, I realized it was something else entirely.
