Hello Steve, thank you too, for your visit and kind comment, however, this isn't known as a flower Steve, its a lovely large colorful LEAF... I have always loved these, and had some in past years,,, warmest wishes, Sarah xx

It's very nice indeed. But why a surprise, Sarah?

Hi Andy, yes it is a nice colorful item in this little pot! the surprise Andy is that I have planted the old trusted summer flower, the Petunia , in this small shallow pot. I watched this particular pot of petunias NOT doing so well, but recently when near this area, just across our driveway , there was this Coladium popping up in their place! I had forgotten that in past couple years I HAD planted a Coladium bulb in this pot, but as you may know they die back each year and I thought I had removed all the bulbs to store in a container for the winter, BUT here is my surprise...left a bulb I guess in this little pot and it has sprouted out to say hello:))) Im so happy to see it and WAS NOT EXPECTING it at all....:) but happy to have it , and you can see the second little leaf coming out beside it ... Long answer Andy, sorry:) but you asked :)))) and thanks for doing so:)

kind wishes, Sarah

No, a GREAT answer, Peggy and I used to love these accidents too! They always seemed to involve misplaced or forgotten bulbs and tubers!
However, I have to confess I hadn't heard of coladium, and wish I had! It's a super little plant!
Best wishes,
Andy
