Re: iholene red?????
I think it is a dwarf red. I have a Iholene red and the pstem is green with a hint of red on the underside of the leafs. I also have a d. red and it looks very close to the one in your picture.

Re: iholene red?????
It looks more like 'Tall Red'. The Iholenas have a very distinct coppery/red leaf underside and not so much red in the pseudostem and petioles.

Easy. The line in your photo in your gallery just above "delete" has an "edit " function. Click it and you're off!
