Dear Julie,

Since I don't know anything about them, other than a very passing recognition of their leaf shapes, how about a Peperomia?

I donÂt know what other info I can give you! I got it in a trade in exchange for some Hylocereus Undatus. The Man who gave it to me said it was difficult to come by since he had never seen another one like it. (And he runs a succulent store) He also said if it gets to tall to cut off the tip. I assumed this meant it should be bushy but IÂve tried pinching the tips and it just keeps growing up! I can tell you itÂs relatively fast grower.
Hope some of this helps,
Julie

Dear Julie,

Since I'm woefully ignorant of Peperomia, even if you had additional information it wouldn 't help me ID it. Fortunately, I know there are other folk here who will be able to tell you if it is indeed a Pep and, if so, what species.

Julie,
I'm afraid I have no idea what this is, but if you like strong light veining on a leaf, here is a link to my seedling Zehneria pallidinervia. They can become quite a greenhouse nuisance I hear, but I sure like the leaves. These are just 4 months from seed.

Dan,
those are realy nice leaves. Do you have any seeds left over? If you do, I'd love to trade you for some of my left over aloe seeds.

Julie,
Sorry, I don't, but they should start to flower and fruit later this summer. I'll keep you in mind. Can I get an e-mail addy to let you know? My addy is dtrhoads@juno.com

Hi Julie,

I'm sorry I can't suggest what this is, but I don't think it's a Peperomia. I've grown several over the last few years & in my experience, the growth habit is either in clusters (from a central clump like a loose rosette) or leaves in pairs. I personally don't know of a Pep which has alternate leaves like that. Of course it could be such exists & I've not run across it yet, but I think it's something else.

Whatever it is, those leaves are quite pretty w/ that distinct veining, VERY nice.

A thought--an etoliated Kleinia abyssinica var. hildebrandtii (or perhaps just Kleinia abyssinica.
