Hello Malar, this is a wonderful foliage! I like the way the leaves change colour :-D Looks like a garden croton to me. But I haven't seen this type before. For me, this one is really unique.
ReplyDeleteHi Malar, It's very attractive indeed but sorry don't know the name.
ReplyDeleteInteresting plant. I think I saw them before but sorry don't know the name.
ReplyDeleteIf Im not mistaken its called Croton or in Malay Pokok Puding.The sap is poisonous, so take care when handling it and keep away from children.
ReplyDeleteDear All,
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and to let me know the name of this plant - croton/Pokok Puding!
Hi Malar, this is indeed pokok puding from the Euphorbiaceae family and Codiaeum species. I checked it out from a gardening book that I have. The foliage is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJ.C: great gardener with books! Thanks!
