They are both lovely. I'm not sure what the first one is. I think I read a couple of days ago that there are large and small Gollums and Hobbits, but I can't remember where I read it online. I was looking at Gollums and Hobbits trying to ascertain which one I had bought, so I went to a lot of websites. Did you try it in a search engine?

I wouldn't want to hazard a guess....but it is possible that the first is 'Hummel's Sunset'....

I do think there are variants of 'Gollum' and 'Hobbit' with larger or smaller leaves, but it's most often a cultural influence. For example, the 'Hobbit' and 'Gollum' plants that I purchased had large leaves at first....but over time, my plants have become much more compact from the way that I grow them.

The first one is Hummel's Sunset, at least I'm pretty stinking sure it is. It has the cream color in the leaves, the reddish purple edges, and the lime green. They are a sight to see when they get some good light. I searched for years upon years, and finally found a place that has a large one that isn't for sale, but is their "cutting farm".

MsGreen...That Hobbit looks quite similar to the one I have. Mine has some leaves over three inches long. I do know there is at least one variety with much smaller leaves.

Thank you for the IDs.
I leave the plants for someone else as I already own one of each.. Maybe I go back and grab some Haws. :)
