If you are a sucker for variegated plants like me, this plant is a must have in the garden. The leaves are so appealing with the pale cream and light green contrast. The flowers are nothing to shout about, except perhaps the color is an unusual magenta red. The plant stem is pale cream as well. It is a healthy plant that grows well as long as it has water and sunshine. I got the cuttings of this plant from my aunt who stays next door to my mother. The cuttings take root easily.
In the photo below can you see who is visiting? Yes this friend is happy, feeding from these flowers. He has become a regular visitor in the late afternoons. Sometimes he comes with another friend, and they are never quiet. Well, it is nice to have their company for a while and hear them gossiping away merrily in their beautiful high pitched voices.
