Eden Project

The most disappointing thing about the Eden Project was the difficulty in identifying the plants that I'm unfamiliar with - this is one of them. This was in the rainforest sphere.
This lovely plant also had small white flowers growing out from between the leaves.

Would you have a name for it Mushy?

Meanie:

This is Rhoeo spathacea - Moses-in-the-cradle. It makes a good ground cover...as you can tell. I've posted several pics of this plant in the past also.
It's a common plant. I especially like the variegated pink and white-leaf variety.

Thank you again Delonix!
Not too sure about the sound of the pink and white leaf variety though...

Meanie:

You're welcome! : > )

Check out the variegated pink and white variety on the internet. It's pretty nice...I think I may have even posted of some in the past.

I shall indeed check out your photos tomorrow evening, as you're struggling to sell that one on me!!

Meanie:

Not struggling to sell this one on you...it's just a very nice ornamental plant which is very easy to grow. They are used as ground cover and sometimes in big pots outside which spread quickly.
