Syngoniums with spotty features.
Syngonium 'Confetti'
Thumb of 2022-06-22/tofitropic/80c6ca
Syngonium 'Milk Confetti'
Thumb of 2022-06-22/tofitropic/74cd3b
Both of the above do not shows much pink spots in my garden, probably climate in my place affect spots pattern.

Syngonium 'Pink Spots' performs better for me

Those three above I got from a trade with friends. It was quite pricey back than, but not anymore here nowadays. Prices has drop alot to a reasonably level on most plants here.
Syngoniums are quick grower, easily propagated, so I am always reluctant to buy a pricey one, just need to wait a moment, soon a good price will hit the market.
However, swap is always fine at anytime.

Don't the Syngoniums grow out of their pretty basal leaves very quickly?

Yes I also think the same Tiffany, most of them grow pretty quickly, some variety transform to vine quickly, but many new varieties nowaday are compact almost non vining. The vining type however benefit from regular cutting to keep compact if we prefer it that way. The excess goes to new plants or trade, so it is weird to buy them at pricey time.

Mangave is unique. I do like Billbergia bromeliads, they color up in the winter months, and nice flowers.

They aren;t too bad here. You can score some locally for $15-20 nice big ones not skimpy little starters. There is one that has link on it that I am always looking out for LOL. SOme of the plants that you have growing wild at your place Tofi would be super pricey here if available at all

I like Poison Dart Frog, Gina.

Bea, that is a nice collection of heuchera. How do they do in your part of the country? I have to keep most types in pots, partially buried.

Thank You! Always appreciate your commentsโ€ฆ I tip my hat to you.
They are in pots. 16x8". They are kept in a protected area from winter frost and snow on the porch. They are the jewel of my garden. I can place the pots out in the open garden in summers. They do much better this way after struggling for years out in the open garden in winters.

Have a great day!

Where were you shopping????

Your Big Spotty looks a lot like a young Spek-Tacular. The leaves on mine get to be 4' long. I used to collect Aspidistras but the only ones I brought down here were the Spek and Spangled Ribbons which has skinny spotty foliage. I do have some of the plain variegated, no spots, around but they have not done well for me here. I think the large white areas burn in the heat here. Maybe if I had some deep shade.....
