Brownies Versus Chocolate Ruffles

Does anyone have both? I would like to see the differences between the two. I have considered both.

I guess that I should add that the leaves on these are huge! My Chocolate Ruffles is so whimpy I don't even want to take a pic of it. :???: These new hybrids are much tougher, heat & humidity doesn't affect them as much & they can take alot of sun. The darker they are the more sun!

I actually have them planted near each other, but they are both young so not very impressive yet. I do think Brownies is more vigorous and bigger even though they are the same age.

If I can catch a break in the rain I will get a photo for you......
