Barclaya longifolia is a beautiful plant that was once common but you don't see much now. It's known for having a red and green variety. The green variety is a pale limy green with pink undersides to the leaves.

I put out the call for green or red and got some seeds from a forum member for this colloquially named "magenta" variety, named because its a green that has more red that your typical green. The green tops of the leaves are a bit darker than the typical green variety...and look green or pink depending on the angle that you're looking at them from.

This tank that has 2 wave makers in a whirlpool configuration so the plants are growing in the current (left -> right) as they would in a river.

Long term plan is to plant a "thicket" of green next to magenta next to red.
