starts out slowly but then grows rampant and blooms easily - is not for the beginner as a cutting - flowers are hairy and semi-short-lived - foliage turns red in high light - likes to remain moist
"Possesses fascinating foliage that looks more like insects posing as leaves than bona fide plant material. As hard and rigid as molded plastic, they have a grainy texture, like sand mixed with paint, and heavily wavy edges as though exposed at some point to the curdling temperatures of a blow torch. The tops are embellished with beautiful lichen encrusted camouflage while the bottoms resemble nothing so much as the underbelly of a lizard. In contrast, the blooms are bits of feathery gossamer, like the tutu of a girlish swan queen, hanging suspended from long elegant peduncles as though trying their utmost to distance themselves from the combat fatigue garb of the rest of the plant.
