Excellent banner Jo Ann!

Wonderful banner, and it's a real fake out to me. I was thinking it was a pot full of cryptanthus! I had a plant that looked very much like that.

I agree Karen. I also thought it was Cryptanthus cascade. Very pretty banner!

The cascade that you sent me is still growing strong. I thought I'd lost it when I had my 3 surgeries, but the neglect didn't kill it. I lost a few, but the others have recovered and look good.

It's beautiful, and a fantastic banner, but am I the only one having trouble finding other mentions of a plant by that name?

I was fooled, too. I guessed some kind of Japanese maple. Pretty foliage, whatever it is.

I found a 'Crimson Queen' Japanese Maple that looks similar. Am I on the right track?

That is certainly pretty. Does it retain that color all season?

Pretty colors. Could be a cutleaf maple. If you have a full image, we might be able to identify it.
