Commelinaceae sp. Macas

A remarkably patterned plant in the spiderwort family .  It is native to Macas, in Southern Ecuador.  It is on the slow side, and a little bit temperamental in my growing conditions.  Given more room to grow, I suspect it would get a bit larger. Each leaf comes out a little different, with new growth being more purple, and developing more green mottling as the leaf matures.
