# Hello! It’s my first time posting here, I found this gorgeous plant…

_Posted by Skyrider on 2026-07-11_

Hello! It’s my first time posting here, I found this gorgeous plant in the shop and am trying to identify it. The label says Calathea Rufibarba, but after googling I can’t find one online that looks like it.  
Any help would be great, thank you!
