Photobucket is down, so I am attaching it.

The only word I have found is "coleus", but am not sure it is one.

Thanks!

If I am not mistaken my mom always called it a joseph's coat. Not sure why or if it is a kinda nickname or what. :confused: I did a search for the joseph's coat and it certainly looks nothing like the one you posted which is the one my mom & grandmother referred to as such. I guess they were confused. :p

Possibly because the leaves contain quite a few different colours? The centres of the leaves become more red if they are in full sunlight, but become paler or almost white if in a shady spot without direct sunlight.
