Distinctive


One of things I’m enjoying about this prayer plant is the unusual way it holds its leaves. In the evening they fold up in a prayer-like position, which is where it gets its name (maybe I’ll remember to photograph it then) but during the day this particular plant opens its leaves into a cascade of sorts, almost like a modern dance pose.


A new leaf has opened with red-violet showing through the green with deep red-violet markings--a richness of color that the others lack. I suppose this plant is the unique, creative one.
