Cordyline, Peperomia and Urginea, the last of which is starting to bloom again, even after a catastrophic fall breaking off all the green from the bulb.

Wonderful plants...where's the Cordyline?

That would be the peach colored one towards the bottom. I had posted it trying to find the nme, and seemed to get clear aggreement that is what it is. It looks correct in structure though I hadn't ever seen any this color. Do you have another suggestion what plant it is Andy?

GT:

The peached-colored plant is not a Cordyline.. It is widely sold and grown here in San Diego, CA. I can't remember the name off hand, however, it's in the Commelinaceae family which comprise such genera as: Dichorisandra, Tradescantia (Wandering Jew).

Its one of those they label a tropical, so I've never known. I'll have to investigate with this new info to work from.

GT:

It is widely grown here...and they are labeled with the correct botanical name. Next time I go to my favorite nursery I'll find out the name for you.
