Great links. Funny, but the only picture that I think looks like it is the one from Rose's Garden blog and hers doesn't look like any of the other ones either. The marked ribs on the leaves isn't there and all the other pictures show leaves that are solid red or pink not the variation that is on mine and the Rose's Garden blog. I'm starting to think that hers might be misidentified but I don't know.
The planter is a log I got somewhere and used a couple rocks to block the holes in the ends. I have it up high on a shelf on the wall to keep it away from the cats, who think it is a scratching post and that whatever plants I have in there are just in the way.
