Image of the tropical bush that can grow in average from 2 to 3 meters tall displaying its most conspicuous characteristic, its mottle leaves. In this sample, white contrasting with green in two tones.


A more close shot at this nice mixing-up of foliage where the pattern is very diverse and this time showing small newly leaves completely white and turning green as they have grown.


Photo taken with direct beam of sunlight to show its main feature at all... its leaves resemble blossoms, even though its flowers, when in the proper season, are very small and quite irrelevant.
