    Hi, I bought two of these little green and yellow plants in a large home improvement store and it is not named. Has anyone seen this or can you name it. There are two pics, one from the top and one from the side. They are about 15" tall and maybe 8-10 inches across at the widest part. Thanks for your help. P&P

    Thanks a bunch - I checked and you are exactly correct. I found this info after you told me what I was looking for. It needs lots of sun to keep its gold dots.
