You knew I would ask, didn’t you. Actually, once I considered it in greens, it reminds me of a plant I have often seen clustered with others in dish gardens from the florist.
This plant reminds me of the “MONEY PLANT” Lunaria annua. The leaves on the money plant are round, off-white, very thin and see-through and have many seeds inside that you can easily see through the flesh of the leaf. That’s what this one reminds me of!
GREAT SHOT!!!
I think it is a “Smoke plant” Cotinus I think is the spelling of its Genus name. They come in green and red varieties and the flowers are very small and ’smoky’ looking hence the name. I have a deep red/orange variety here and a red/greenish in Oklahoma.
Manise Said,
Very cool plant! The spots look like they’re painted on in gold leaf.
Nora Said,
Seriously cool. The marks on the leaves are sort of like a lace pattern…
margene Said,
Love the color and the spots that look like seeds. Someone will know what it is.

The leaves look like butterfly wings. I kind of want a sweater in those colors now.

Very cool. I like the spot pattern on the leaves.
Hillary Said,
The spots on those leaves are really neat. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is that they remind me of. Have a good one.

Happy Friday and thanks for sharing the beautiful leaves of New England with me.
Lucia Said,
Very interesting! The spots are probably much harder to see when the leaves are green. I’m with Gale: they do remind me of butterfly wings.
Mary Said,
Cool plant, it does look like butterfly wings
Doris Said,
