FB Plant ID identified this and I was skeptical, however I found this description that pink/red is common &quot;Flora leaves (bracts) are often partly colored pink or red,&quot; although it doesn&#039;t show up in any sample photos. It is also present in the Texas/Mexico region. There seems to be a lot of varieties of leaf shapes.<br />
