There a very wide range of foliage available in these - colours and shapes. They're very hardy plants and don't really need looking after. Some people are avid collectors. westraad Xai Xai Mozambique July 29, 2009 11:59 AM Post #6880150 thanks everyone! yes, there is a very large range of foliage available, i have several types myself. i know a Portuguese lady who has all they different types avaible here. i am posting the closeup. thanks again. westraad Click the image for an enlarged view.
