Tom, That is odd you mention Veronica. I recently got one. I had never heard of it but it reminds me of both an ozelot and flame sword. Very pretty. The new leaves are almost solid dark red with small specks of green. Is this the same plant you are referring to? What other tidbits can you share about it?
