Are the flowers pretty? Yes, but not stunning. What is stunning are the amazing metallic red leaves on the flowering shoots. To my great joy there is still room for novelties that makes your heart ache. This gorgeous darling, which I loved tremendously even without the flowers, surprised me with another set of totally surreal leaves. I presume the metallic red copper leaves function like bracts, i.e. their glistering can not be resisted by connoisseur insects and they fly towards the sparkling treasure where they find goblets of nectar.
