Cinta,
Thanks for the explanation on the differences between yours and Lin's. I can better see the differences now.

Some of the pictures I found online for 'Crete' and 'Siam Aurora' look practically identical (then again, I know sometimes people mislabel their own plants and that's where confusion can begin; not referring to either you or Lin here). It doesn't help when the lighting can "mess up" colors and leaf variations. I know how bad it is to photograph a purple African Violet, only for it to appear blue (for example). And then there's always the case of different growing factors. You have two of the same plants grown in completely different locations and they don't look alike. How confusing! Yes, that's another factor, two different names for the same plant. Oh boy, maybe it's good I didn't become a Botanist or get heavily into that sort of thing lol.
