I love the swirl on these leaves. Reminds me of a fern frond before it opens. :)

I do like this plant, but don't seem to be able to keep it. Last year it had thrips, this year all the plug plants and the Rex i brought back from shows have gone - they had dark spots on that i think is some kind of Mildew. I had some of it last year and left them in the greenhouse - it spread to the plants near to them. This year i have been watching and have sprayed for mildew, if that hasn't worked i have thrown the plant out before it has spread to any more plants.
