When I got Sonny (Detective Carisi) he was just a couple of lonely leaves and a stem wrapped in cellophane. Now he’s got some of my favorite pretty painted looking leaves. Big and strong!

He’s beautiful! It’s a Krimson Princess and not a Krimson Queen because of the inner variegation on the leaves. Hoya Krimson Queen has white variegations on the edges of the leaves. See my picture.

You’re welcome. Both are called tricolor. It’s so confusing.

Gorgeous Princess! I love the two toned green mixed with the white and pink. Sonny looks very happy!
