I set it as my desktop wallpaper for the week, I liked it so much.

I’m a nut for colored foliage in general, but variegated generally leaves me pretty cold, too. I can’t figure out whether I have a valid reason for that dislike, if I just can’t combine the plants well, if it stems from the fact that most of the variegation is white/light and therefore looks too “wimpy” to me, or what.

Any thoughts on WHY you don’t like variegation? I’m just looking for some insight here… 🙂
