| They're very pretty. I have a H. cinnamomifolia that had red leaves, but since I repotted her in new, more porus potting mix her leaves are turning greener. |

| Lighting64 your red leaves are gorgeous!! Looks like I'm going to have to add these to my wish list. May I ask which reliable source did you get them from? |

| Hey Beth. Great idea for a thread! I've been so swamped I don't really have time to take any serious pictures but I loved your theme so much I snapped some quick (embarrassingly) sloppy shots. Too bad you didn't come up with this idea a few months earlier. My plants looked like tropical birds of paradise all winter, but they're kind of dragging atm.

| I love all those red leaves GG, some of those are so stunning! Thanks for sharing. I wish you could share the species names for those pics, but I understand if you're too busy. |

| My Hoya DS-70 is covered in dark red (almost purple on the newest growth; a little hard to see in this photo) leaves. The new growth on my Thanksgiving Cactus was more red a couple weeks ago but I failed to take a photo sooner, so it's more green than red in this photo. Hoya DS-70: Thanksgiving Cactus: Planto |

| GG I love the look of those photo groupings. Hoya surigaoensis is my favorite of your red leafed beauties. Mike |

| Thank you Diptic! Yeah, sometimes you need a little Hoya montage. Hoya surigaoensis really is a stand out Hoya. You know how it is... all Hoyas are equal, but some Hoyas are more equal than others. :P Planto, the red leaves on my Schlumbergera also caught my eye, so I'm glad you posted a picture! |

| greedyghost, No problem! Hubby thought it was an interesting contrast with the red and green, seems more like Christmas than Thanksgiving though. :P Planto |

| lol I really wonder about the person who assigned them all holiday names. And why I can't find holiday themed cultivars! Where's my Schlumbergera truncata Golden Turkey? |
