I received this amazing plant and don't know what it is. The leaf spread is about 2 feet. Flower stalk is also about 2 feet. Leaves are not stiff and have a saw-toothed edge and point, ouch! Once I know what it is I'll find out how to take care of it. Thanks in advance, Frandances

Welcome, frandances! You might do better posting this question over in the Plant ID forum.

Maybe Dave can move it over there for you?

Welcome, frandances..

Neat looking plant, though I have no idea what it is. As woofie said, you're sure to get a positive ID on the ID forum.

(I kind of like the sound of francesdances.... )

The 'Blue Tango' is quite a bit more vibrant in color.
However, you have a lovely plant there!
