Forgot to mention that in the long leafed plant, the undersides of the leaves are a deep plum color. Very striking in contrast to the almost chartreuse color of the top side of the leaves.

Just realized that my sprinkler repair guy sent me down the wrong path. I did some more internet digging and discovered that it's a prayer plant Calathea :)

But as for the magenta pink one, is that a Shanghai??

Hi everyone -

Gorjush - I was about to say your plant looked like one of the Calatheas but I see you've ID'd it yourself anyway. Did you know it gets the name of "Prayer Plant" from its habit of folding the edges of the leaves together at night like bringing the hands together to pray?

I'm not familiar with the name Neo. 'Shanghai', nor does it appear on the BCR, so it's an unregistered name. However I think your plant could possibly be Neo. 'Vodoo Doll' which is a Grant Groves hybrid from Neo. 'Cranberry' x Neo. 'Purple Star' and appears on the FCBS Photo index at position 3869 in the Neoregelia cultivar listing, and also on the BCR See: http://registry.bsi.org/?genus=NEOREGELIA&id=7718#7718

All the best, Nev.
