I have to say that the new leaves that emerge from this species are very dark and much more handsome than they are after they fade to a flat, light, green color. I wish that I had a photo of them, but if I keep the plant around long enough hopefully I will be rewarded with more leaves to photograph. I can’t really say one way or another yet whether this plant is worth keeping, or not. I should know more at the end of the summer.
