Possibly. Keep an eye on it and post more pics.

I don't think so. It looks like a leaf that hasn't opened all the way yet.

If there's a Maple Leaf on the other side, then it's a Flag Leaf.

If not then it's one of the leaves that comes before a Flag Leaf,

but don't know how many multiples of pre's it would be.

Nice Plant, Brady.

I didn't mean it looks like a 'flag-leaf', but that it looks like a leaf shaped like a flag, a ripped up one. I thought you were joking about it being a flag leaf. It looked like a flag pole with a ripped up green banner. Since you were actually serious - no, it is not a flag leaf, it is merely a newly emerging cigar leaf, with the part that is ripped up probably resulting from cutting through the stem. There are many pictures of actual flag-leaves on the forum. Might be a good idea to go through a few.

Lmao no I know it's not a flag leaf, I was joking. I had to chop the top off my Siam ruby bc of a rot spot. This was the first leaf that came up. I opened it so it looked like a flag and I could make a joke. I'm so funny!

I figured you were joking. I'm worried about any that really did think it was a flag leaf.

I think almost everyone knew he was joking.

His Flag doesn't have stars.

A vertical bicolour triband of red, white, and red in the ratio 1:2:1, with a red maple leaf charged in the centre.

More pics would be good as long as the other side isn't highly variegated.

I'd hate to see Canada surrender to the Upper Peninsula

Michigan would probably give da "U.P." back to Wisconsin if that happened!
By the way... "Escanaba in da Moonlight" is required viewing for *anyone* mentioning the "Upper Peculiar"!
