    Was just about to shut down but will put this up so you have some time to think. [​IMG]

    I'm a rhizone L native to Indonesia.
    I am a discolor and am noted more for my foliage than flowers, which grow in clusters.
    I bloom in the Winter-early Spring.
    I grow in low light moist conditions on the forest floor.
    LoL has one of me! :eek: :D

    :rolleyes: Well struggling here a bit LoL... Come up with lots, but not begining with "L"..... So here is one guess.. "Liriope ".. [​IMG]
    If this isn't it & I don't expect so.. Maybe another clue.. :rolleyes: I take it we should be searching for the Latin name..? :rolleyes: :D

    Me sorry too, Marley, as I missed your 29 July posting! [​IMG] Think it's just you and me ... come on guys ...

    No, it's not a Liriope ... and it's certainly not a Laurel ...

    I'm a rhizome, remember, and grow on the forest floor?

    I'm small and pretty. :rolleyes:

    We may need strongy, pete, but it's something you may have ... or something similar ... and I shouldn't but I do. :D

    Sorry, again, Marley ... yes, it's the Latin name ... the common one may give it away instantly! :rolleyes:

    No, you silly, you can't have a picture ... later perhaps. [​IMG] I think you have a variety of it. Get out of the veggie garden and get that excellent pea brain working ... [​IMG]

    I actually have two varieties of them of them and you've said I shouldn't have them here ... :D

    My second go around of black sweet peas was disasterous due to the heat and I have no seeds now ... :eek:

    Think a bit more exotic. [​IMG]

    Clue ... my relatives have strappy leaves but I don't ... I have small, pretty multi-coloured leaves.
