Dichromena latifolia with Hypoestes
An attractive combination, Hans, but a surprising one to me... I thought the Dichromena needed to be damp all the time?  :-\  The Hypoestes wants to be dry and warm, no?

Maggi ,

I saw the same combination on this nursery where I have bought the Dichromena ...I will grow it as "anuelles" and I hope they will survive some time .
This was for me the first time that I have seen Dichromena ...maybe in UK is it more common ?

I don't think the Dichromena is common in the UK, Hans... I have only seen it in pictures from USA! :-\

Drat, too busy re-potting to see this puzzle in time.  I saw a potful earlier this year and I believe the owner said they were newly available here, haven't come across it yet.
