I just love my B. Cowardly Lion. =)

19 years ago

When I first saw it at my local greenhouse, I thought, "Hmm, huge big leaves, unimpressive colors," and passed it up. Then, I kept thinking about its sweet, unassuming name, and went back for it.

I absolutely love its gentle coloring now, and the peaceful way it unfurls hairy new leaves here and there for me to find. It's a beautiful plant.
