    Hi Everyone,

    Can you help me identify this plant. I purchased it at a garden center close out and it did not have a tag.

    It's about 8 inches tall with smooth dark red leaves.

    Thank you,
    Frank

    Hi Ron B,

    I think you've got it!

    Thank you very much. I want to try to tissue culture the plant and now I can research the protocol.

    Thanks again,
    Frank
