cohanf, 1)Some blab, videos + photos of a couple of tropical plants that I had to rescue- from me! I had a bit too much to say about soils, watering, etc, so I made a blog post with the 2 videos + a bonus vid of a flowering cactus.
I'm testing Wordpress, so I posted the same thing there and at blogger. The videos are on YouTube, Spectra links in replies.

From this direction, in this light, the almost heart-shaped leaves appear medium green with blood red venation. At this stage of growth, the leaves are coming nearly from the soil with very little stem.
Murdannia loriformis Bright Star a small plant with strap shaped leaves that taper to a point, a bit wider in middle. they are a medium slightly yellow-green with a wide band across the centre of silver-grey-green. Leaves come from a central rosette with a short stem and new rosettes come from the base. I has a delicate branched flowering stem with one tiny open white flower and a number of buds. Around the base of the plant are tiny green leaves with red reverse, the sprawling stems of Peperomia verticillata. Most of the plant is in shade, with a shaft of sunlight hitting the foremost leaf in the centre, and the open flower.
