plantladylin said:Both Alternanthera and Iresine are in the Amaranthaceae family and have similar appearance but I think Jsld's plant looks more like Alternanthera. I'm not sure but the photo below on the left may be in the incorrect database location.

This looks like Alternanthera .............. this one is Iresine

I believe you're right, probably another case of mislabeled plants. The second photo is a plant I have that I purchased from Lowe's awhile back, mine was tagged Iresine diffusa f. herbstii. Mine is 'Color Blaze' and that plant pictured looks exactly like mine.
