Thank you. Hilarious! The pig's ear name works better for some varieties of this plant than others... like this one maybe.



Those leaves are sort of piggy, I guess. The leaves on the one in the original flower picture remind me more of fingers (and not pig fingers) than any sort of ear. They have a curved red edge right where the fingernail would be, to enhance the look.
