Thank you Bobby, Kitty, Ron, Kerry, Robert, Joy, Jeff, John and Ken!
Ron, I've been looking up "paw paw" but the plants I've seen don't match! Hope I can find it! #8609116

Patrick Rouzes level-classic May 13, 2010

Beautiful colors, tones, detail, clarity, testures & prresentatio! Lovely capture & image here, Ruth!

I did look up paw paw,Ruth, & this appears to be the leaves of a paw paw tree! Not totally certain but found some pics similar to this! #8609857

Laura E. Swan level-classic May 14, 2010

While growing up we had a very similar plant to this in our back yard. If it's not the pawpaw that Ron and Patrick referred to, it might be what is called a RICE PLANT. Did it have white fuzz on the stem?

At any rate, Ruth, this is a very beautiful capture of WHATEVER it is! :)

Great job!

Thank you Patrick and Laura! I finally did find a picture that is similar, so apparently it is a paw paw!
Thanks Ron, Patrick and Laura for helping me figure out what it was!!
Really appreciate your help!! :-) #8611071
