We thought it would be stiff and thick...Does anyone know what it is? Click the image for an enlarged view.

That resort has a funny name. shearpamela Flower Mound, TX (Zone 7b) September 21, 2004 06:56 PM Post #1060120 Yes it does have an odd name! The resort is huge, and a lot like being at disneyworld. The one in Texas has a replica of the Alamo inside. Dyckia Daytona Beach, FL September 22, 2004 09:21 AM Post #1060931 The plant in the picture is Calathea rubifarba. MsCritterkeeper The Heart of Texas, TX (Zone 8b) September 22, 2004 08:20 PM Post #1061727 I have one and it's easier than most Calathea's to keep. It can take a bit more sun and it likes to stay very moist and humid. She can probable find one at Lowe's for about $5.00-6.00. Dyckia Daytona Beach, FL September 23, 2004 09:35 PM Post #1063271 I have some I'd be willing to trade. I dont know if I'm breaking the rules or not by saying so here. Is there a "proper" way to go about trading? I just joined this week. TIA for any pointers, -dave
