Hopefully there's a scientist out there somewhere trying to figure out how to genetically modify plants so they grow a QRCode under their leaves. :) | |

| May 1, 2014 at 23:49 | comment | added | Ronan Thibaudau | this does feel like a match (variegated shell Ginger, pink) google.fr/… | |
| May 1, 2014 at 23:44 | comment | added | Ronan Thibaudau | the color of 1 picture is right and the pattern of another one is too, i'll look up some more on Google images and see if i can find a shell Ginger that is close but yea, this looks closer | |
| May 1, 2014 at 22:55 | comment | added | TeresaMcgH | Just added some pictures of various variegated "Shell Gingers" to my original post. If that's not it, I'm all out of guesses, sorry! | |

| May 1, 2014 at 21:04 | comment | added | Ronan Thibaudau | Got 1 more information from my mom (would've been usefull if she said it earlier), the plant is actually pretty tall (doesn't show much in the picture since there aren't many objects to notice the scale), she said it's over 1.20meter (around 4 foot) | |
| May 1, 2014 at 17:24 | comment | added | TeresaMcgH | Has anyone checked out the ginger family guess? The stems and the leaves look right for ginger, and the variegation markings look more like it, too, but I haven't found a variegated ginger yet with the pink/red stripes. | |
| May 1, 2014 at 16:02 | comment | added | kevinskio♦ | the leaf colour of the Red Sumatra aglonema is correct but the stems in the picture from the original poster are too thin. It almost looks like a silk plant the stems are so straight and regular | |

| May 1, 2014 at 14:31 | comment | added | OrganicLawnDIY | Did a quick search for Aglaonema red based on Teresa's answer and the picture. I think I found the exact plant. Aglaonema Red Sumatra. See gardenworld.in/44187c178_Aglaonema-Red-Sumatra.html | |

| May 1, 2014 at 14:22 | comment | added | TeresaMcgH | Yeah, I think now I'm not right on my first guess. I'm updating my post to show my new best guess... | |
| May 1, 2014 at 5:56 | comment | added | Ronan Thibaudau | I went through all 21 species in the genus listed on wikipedia & tried each one on Google image, there were a few species that would be close in leaf shape, but none of them would match the coloring patterns. Also all the ones in the species that get substantially colored seem to be ranging from dark pink to deep red while the plant i pictured is a very light pink. I'm thinking it's not of this genus. | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 17:52 | comment | added | TeresaMcgH | I could very well be wrong. That is just how it looks to me from the pictures. Some of the aglaonemas do, however, have longer pointy leaves - this one for example. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/… | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 16:47 | comment | added | Ronan Thibaudau | The leaves look very different to me (those on my picture are long and pointy while the aglaonema's are much larger and rounded). Also the patterns are very diferent, on my picture there seem to be bits of pinks & bits of green in chunks on a single leaf while on the aglaonema it's either colored veins or colored border. Also the color doesn't fade on my picture (goes from pink to green flat over a line) while it's more of a gradient on the Google pictures. | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 16:15 | comment | added | TeresaMcgH | I'm going to stick with Anglaonema. The longer stems threw me for a bit, but apparently that's not unusual as the plant ages, and the tips can be cut back and rooted for new plants. So, bonus! | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 15:55 | comment | added | Ronan Thibaudau | Put a higher resolution / better angle / nonblurry image instead | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 15:22 | comment | added | Ronan Thibaudau | I will try to get a higher quality picture from my mom and post it back asap | |
