I hope that you can discern that the top of the leaves are pink and the undersides are green. Most unusual.

Hi witt,
Glad you posted that. A friend gave me one a while back. I hadn't heard of the plant until then. I planted it in the ground and seems to be doing okay. Not sure if it will make it in-ground in winter tho. I'm in zone 9.

Isn't that an unusual sight? I am amazed every time that I look at it.
I had the ordinary green kind one time that I had planted in the yard. It didn't make it through the winter. I sure won't try it with this one.

Hi witt,
I guess i will dig mine up before it gets cold here then and pot it up. Our cold won't be til sometime late Nov. or Dec. It is an unusual in that it is reversible in color.

Oh, do pot it up before the winter season. It is just too pretty to lose. I don't do houseplants worth a flip. I sure hope that I don't lose mine.

Hey witt,
I will do just that. I'm not too keen on keeping houseplants alive either except for a few! I really do prefer outdoor plants.

Got my little pink arrowhead suited up and ready for winter. Just snapped a shot, a little dark and rainy right now. Now I'll have to find a place for the baby inside, come winter.

Great picture. Yes, I'd better be thinking where to put mine soon. Do they need a lot of light? That's something that I don't have much of in this house.
