Another addition to my 'patio' garden is this Calathea ornata or Pin-stripe Calathea that I'd recently brought back from my Dad's garden in Penang.
According to Wikipedia, this plant is native to Central and South America.
This is still a very young plant and the largest of the leaves measure just 7 cm in length. It is growing out of a yoghurt tub but am sure I will need to plant it in a proper pot soon. Anyway, it seems to have adapted quite well so far, after enduring a 3 hour ride on the ferry from Penang in my backpack.
