Round 2: Identify This Plant [Gardening]
Does anybody know what this plant is?
New clues:
In my last Identify This Plant, we learned some other key traits.
Key Characteristics:
- large round #green leaves, with slight red sunburns on the oldest #leaves.
- candy #red and #pink flowers
- #red flower #stem
- hardy #perennial, tolerates wet, heavy clay #soil, and full sun
Here I took a photo and enhanced the leaf colors slightly.
The red flower stem looks a lot like rhubarb.
Nobody has correctly identified this plant yet.
Some people guessed that my mystery plant was a #hyacinth. Hyacinth is a very lovely flower, but I don't think that is what this is. We grow hyacinth in our #garden, and it looks more like this...
and this...
Very different.
I tried searching google as suggested to me, but I can't find anything that matches the plant I am trying to identify. There are so many species of flowering plants, it is hard to sort through them all. The closest looking plant I can find is begonia, but I don't think this is correct either.
If there is a wise gardening guru out there on steemit who can identify this plant, please tag them in the comments. I would love anyone knowledgeable to leave a comment for me below with their guess. No upvote expected, though you might get one for me as thanks.
I really want to know if this #mystery plant is #poisonous or not. Sometimes the red stem is nature's clue that the plant might be #toxic.
Hey there! When I first saw its leaves I also thought that it could be at least a family of the Begoniaceae, the big hard leaves and stems suggest indeed that they could be related. But I also googled them in an effort to help you, and atm I haven't found the exact one. I did find though another species looking a lot alike yours: an african violet. At first glance I thought I had found it, but taking a better look at the center of the flowers and I noticed the scalloped leaves had a slightly different size. Same with its flowers, and trichomes all over the stems. What do you think? Maybe they're related as well? I'll leave here a couple of pics and their links. I'll try to google a little more in a while. Take care, cheers!
