Coloured Foliage Plants
In the words of famous poetess Parveen Shakir- Allah bless her in eternal peace:
“Rang bateen karein aur baton say khushbu aaye”
Regardless, Colours do charm a person,like fragrance, even if less.Let us then speak to/about the colours of garden plants.
We know that there is a good number of plants known & reared for the exotic colours of their foliage, rather than their flowers or fragrance.Wouldn’t it be nice if we take a stock of all such locally available plants for the interest & knowledge of all members?
Here as a first step,I post the images taken by me of some of such plants- please indicate if there be any wrong name:
Caladium Croton ....... Next Page

Re: Coloured Foliage Plants
Nice...Munir shb, please email the pictures of individual foliage (with close ups) plants as well at pakistan.flora@yahoo.com. We will create entries with time. You are right foliage plants have been neglected so far! If possible give the name as well.

Euphorbia Cotinifolia/Lall Jharri
Some Dracaenas/Cordylines also have coloured foliage,but presently they are not in proper colours. Can be added later.
Then, there may be a number of other coloured foliage plants,as also a wide range of colours of the above plants,which may be added by whoever has them,in order to complete the catalogue.
Hope you enjoy the colours.

Re: Coloured Foliage Plants
What mistake have I made & can someone kindly rectify it?
I opened a 'New Topic' to upload 6 posts with images of subject plants in succession in one thread.Instead,they have all appeared separately as individual threads, though with the same subject title.How could I have done it ? Can somebody put them together,as they serve little pupose separately?
