JATROPHA INTEGERRIMA (VARIEGATED)

I planted these grafted variegated Jatropha at the Carpark Garden previously and looked at how pretty they have grown?

The leaf shape and variegation contrast sharply with the small, red flowers. Either way, this is a true beauty regardless of whether the leaves are variegated or not as in the more common Jatropha.

ALOCASIA MACRORRHIZOS

I don't usually love foliage plants but this has to be one of my favourites.

Don't you think the marbled variegation gives the plant so much more character the common green leaved ones?

I am so glad it is doing so well at the Floral Walk and the ones that I planted a few months ago at the Silver Garden is also branching out very well.

This is a must have if you want contrast amongst a landscape of small leaved plants and green leaves.
