Dark Red Leaf

Hi Steem friends,

Today I'm sharing a photo that I took today while I was on my university campus. As with many other universities, our campus has a "Green Society" dedicated to spreading knowledge and awareness of environmental issues as well as encouraging participation of students in adapting healthy "green" habits in their daily lives.

Today they were holding an event in which students could stop by and take a free plant which they could then take home to care for. This is a wonderful opportunity for many students who may not have previously had a plant. Additionally, the plants that were being given away were all of a pretty small size, so this will make them easier to care for, especially for beginners or those without much space where they live.

Since I very recently purchased several new plants for myself, I didn't bother taking a free plant today. I did spot this very interesting one though. I'm not sure what kind of plant this one is, but the deep red leaf combined with the stalk emerging from the center really caught my eye! Does anybody out there know what kind of plant this is? I'd really like to know!
