A new Baby.. Tropical Beauty 'Hawaii'

[patticake]

I found this baby at a garden center last weekend. It was in bad shape. I asked if it was on mark-down- They said, "Just take it!" I took it home and soaked it... There was a small piece that broke off... I have 2 plants, now- one large and a little one, also.- I looked up the flower on Google- It's SOOO pretty! Not bad for free!

Great find Patti. Can't beat free! Can't wait to see it bloom! The name sounds wonderful!

Thanks, Solay! I thought it sounded like an orange or yellow... When I looked it up on-line, it was a pretty lavender w/ purple! -SWEET!

I'm a happy camper!!! I still can't believe that they gave it to me for free... The old growth was yuckie, I'm so glad!!! But there was new growth that looked good.- They didn't see that!! I'm so happy! (I wish I had really great emoticons right now!!!)
