The only complaint I have about my zoo visit was the lack of plant identification tags. I am trying to identify this plant which was located in the zoo's tropical rainforest building. My best guess is that it is some type of Aphelandra! I'll let you know if I find the correct name...

Hi, Bill,
Thanks for another beautiful picture! I have saved this one to use in my soon-to-be yellow and blue sunporch. Will fit right in with the new decor. Keep 'em comin'. They are really enjoyable!

The Space Plant has foliage (although it didn't show in the photo). Indian Pipes (Monotropa uniflora) have no leaves whatsoever...
