Botanical Mystery?
 
This is not my plant or photo:



It's aglaonema 'Pink Star' which apparently can only be bought in England.

Botanists need to explain how the Hell this plant, with only 1% of its leaf area covered with chlorophyll, can do enough photosynthesis to sustain growth.

Red leaves can perform photosynthesis just as green leaves can. This is because chlorophyll can use blue light, and that is not reflected by a red leaf.
