thanks for the info on this new plant. however, i must disagree with you regarding the size of its leaves. it's actually quite big! they must be at least 5" in width (lord p., you do the math... :-) for everybody else, that's about 12.5 cm). and you are right about the colors, it's a very beautiful plant!
and lord p., no smell on this one either...
