Can anyone tell me the name of the plant with the red varigated looking leaves at the front of the picture. I know one plant is geranium, it is the other plant I am trying to I.D.

Thanks, Patricia

It sure is pretty whatever it is. I was thinking maybe some type of Iresine: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/215161/ but that is just a wild guess!

You may be right, that sounds familiar. Let's see if anyone can give a postive I.D.

I wasn't sure but just googled for photo's of Iresine: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=images of ...

Hopefully if it is indeed Iresine, someone will be able to tell you which cultivar it is.

You got it right, I didn't think the leaves were quite right on the first once because my leaves don't cup down. Thank you so much.
