I've been trying to ID that Cordyline I posted in Tropicals , its the cyclamen one . This site shows terminalis with colours from plain greens to very gaudy colours .Also I found a site that shows the native one Ive got with the red berries and they call that Cordyline terminalis,var, manners suttoniae .terminalis seems to cover a wide range of leaf shapes and colours. All a bit confusing.

That's why I gave up trying to ID mine

From what I have been able to find out, most of the coloured ones we see around are hybrids of C terminalis so a near impossible job to ID I think

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.

A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.
