Daphne

Emma, I like to take a close up, a far away, and as many angles as I can...especially if it's a plant and it holds still. :-) The critters are not as easy sometimes to get multiple angles. Also, I found it helps to have a size reference for some things. Isn't this scrutinizing fun?

Sounds like fun. By scrutinizing, you mean, documenting all the flora and fauna you are seeing?

That's a great idea. That will definitely help with ID.

I think you're right Emma. I was thinking something else more tropical. With just seeing the leaves this close it was hard to tell. I like Daphne, they smell great!

Dan, yes, the leaf is longer and "thicker" looking than the hostas I've seen in my yard, and garden centers...but that was the closest I could think of.

Heather I think this is something more tropical. Am I right, Emma? Where did you see it? I know I've seen it before on my travels or at a greenhouse but can't remember the name. Maybe ceherzog can help.

possibly a hosta?
