Since I've somehow stumbled on the topic of "mall plants" (yikes), here's some Schefflera, growing in Puerto Rico. My students already know how I feel about variegated plants, in general (double yikes), but the white and green variegation isn't all THAT bad. It does brighten up an otherwise dark corner.
The yellow and green however...Not so much.
Schefflera is an easy genus to make a guess on its etymology -- it's named for a German botanist, Jacob Christian Scheffler.
One of our very first plants.
ReplyDeleteA very pretty plant, really brightens up a spot. I have one in front of my house that is over 6 feet tall. Just lovely and cheerful
