Day 83


Calathea Burle-Marxii

Blue Ice

Native to the tropical Americas, this plant was named after Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994).  It's a member of the Prayer Plant family because when the sun goes down it's large tropical leaves move up as if they were hands raised in prayer.  This one is sun kissed while it's leaves are hanging down in the midday sun.
