Hey, everyone is a moron about *something*. (read: it was news to me, too.)
Pretty plant. I'm a sucker for variegated leaves.

You know, I am the same way, I have plants that I wouldnt really care for if they were variegated. I LOVE my pink and white variegated african violets.

Oh, yeah. The pink and white leaved violets (especially with ruffles or in the mini size) are my most fav. I just had a lovely outside bush that had lovely pink/white varigation in the new growth and someone (who didn't like it) cut it down. WAHHH!!!
