| I always take tag pictures after shooting plant and bloom pictures and knew as soon as I uploaded them that I didn't get the correct name tag. Hope someone recognizes this.

| I'd agree on the foliage being Francoa. It's a different bloom than my Francoa that is blooming now but could be as I think they are all purple'ish. |

| growin, according to the notes added by jkom51, "F.ramosa has white flowers; F.sonchifolia has pink". The first image in the PF below looks like it needs to be moved if that is the case.

| I think you're right.
ps. Thanks for the xFatshedera error - something's not quite right there either although not an easy fix. |

| I'm starting to think the plant in your image is 'Rogerson's Form' on this site: [HYPERLINK@www.cgf.net]
[HYPERLINK@www.cgf.net] 2005&width=300&height=400
The other thought was 'Purple Spike'
The species is a much lighter colour. It's also starting to look like F. sonchifolia & F. ramosa are varieties of F. appendiculata. |

| Moving the image is easy. What did you think about 'Rogerson's Form'? It's a much darker bloom than the species/variety. |

| Here's the label from the plant if it helps anyone. Looks like it came from Seb. Growers, not Annie's.

| The only thing that makes me hesitate on 'Rogerson's Form' is the image you included, there seem to be less blooms on the stalk. The one I saw, all the stalks had the fuller bloom clusters like begoniacrazii's image. |
