Thanks Evan, it's A. plumbea variegated purple stem ( NSE has one just like it on Ebay right now.) I bought mine last fall from the website. It was another one that overwintered well in the greenhouse.
Sometimes the ponies do like the mud....but this is getting a little insane.
Elaine, be glad you missed it. I have not seen it this wet here since the 2004 hurricanes.
