Plants speak to us in many ways. The pink patterns on this leaf seem to hint at what lies beneath. This beautiful work of nature contains a powerful psychoactive substance known to the western world as DMT, and is used here in southeastern Peru as one of the main ingredients in a spiritual/medicinal brew called ayahuasca.
Very nice colors and patterns.
I suppose it’s just an extension of being an all around tree hugger/tree junkie, but I find the various details of leaves to be especially captivating. So glad you enjoyed the photo.
All the best,
Romulus
Romulus, you are probably right but there is also the experienced eye that sees more than leaves.
Thank you for your kind words 🙂
