Leaves of Different Hues

This Rex Begonia has ruby red leaves which shine like jewels in the sun.
The Selaginella is a shade loving plant which grows under my pomegranate tree.

The Swallowtail butterfly found a resting place on the fern.


The croton, with its many coloured leaves is a perennial favourite here.



The Alpinia has bright , variegated leaves.
I hope you enjoyed the colours and forms of the leaves. Have a good day!
