PEACOCK PLANT

When my mum first saw this plant at the nursery, she was captivated by the beautiful leaves which resembled that of the peacock's feather. Of course, she bought it and this is how the plant looks after some time in her care. It has grown even more exquisite and beautiful. Look at how the patterns on the leaves are so prominent.
