Now, this picture is in the real "Znuber-style". I think I would recognise your work by now even if you didn't sign it. :-)) Superb, Charles. This plant has so much expression... it looks like it is sticking its tongue out at the world...;-))

Thank you Doris for your wonderful comment and the tongue part really made me laugh - I had not noticed - you're right it looks like it is making faces to the photographer:))

Glad you like it Znacke - this plant is very common in Malta:))
The dark green parts will turn reddish brown as it grows, and the white becomes even whiter, creating a wonderful contrast of colours:))
