This is one of my favorite baby plants, I got it at the AV show in May. It isn't quite as bright green as it looks in the photo, the color is more of a bluish forest green. I am noticing the new leaves do not have much variegation, either. The leaves are stiff, more brittle than most AV's and it has very flat way of growing. When I bought it, it had one bud, pink, but it never opened and eventually shriveled up and died. It is also growing more slowly than most of my other baby plants.

Someone found a description for me somewhere, but I misplaced it. And I can't find it anywhere online. I am just curious if anyone grows this, or has a photo of a bigger plant, maybe one in flower?
