My family knows that I have a soft spot for a group of plants known as Hostas. If you have a shady garden, you likely have one of these reliable leafy relatives of the lily. They are far more known for their leaves than their flowers, which is unfortunate as some produce beautiful large white flowers that are heavily scented.
The foliage is very compelling as it comes in a surprisingly large variety of textures, shapes and colours. I love them partly due to the tropical feel these plants have, despite their hardiness. Some of the leaves are impossibly large. The one in this Photosynth is called Sum and Substance, which it has in spades.
You can see that some of the leaves are at least 18" across. Way cool!
