    I need some help identifing this plant that iv had for about a year now....
    Well, ill describe it the best I can..The older leafs are pretty big, close to the size of my palm..in the middle of the leaf it is a very light pink color..and as it decends out it turns to a very dark shade of purple, and on the edges of the leaf its green...
    The more younger and newer leafs have some white in the middle, then goto the light pink, to the dark purple, and the green edges...
    I'm really not sure what it is, and cant find a picture of it....maybe some one here knows?

    I took a look around the forums, and I found somthing simular but not quite it
    it sorta resembles "Persian Shield" but the leafs dont look so shiny, and the feel pretty soft also

    You're welcome, glad I could help.

    If you'll include your location it may help with other ID's in the
    future. We won't stalk you honest :-)
    Regards
    Chris
