Description

***
Each "leaf" in this group, in the course of a year, will become a 4-5 inch stem. The central stalk will grow much taller, ultimately being crowned with a "mop" of multi-colored, lamp-shaped flowers. At that point, I call it a "Medusa" plant. Its real name is Cotyldon.

Exif: F Number: 3.5, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 10/340 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 4.40 mm, Model: FinePix F500EXR
