PISONIA

I always love the Pisonia alba (synonym P. grandis) because of its large yellowish green leaves.

So imagine how excited I was when I first saw a variegated version of this plant! I was taken aback by its beauty. So once I laid my hands on it, I planted one at the Home Garden next to the swing. Its leaf size and colours contrasted very well with the fine-textured or elliptic dark green foliage around it.

It is still there today although a lot of the other plants in that area were removed.
