Leaves
Saint James’ Park, London features this week.
A variety of coloured leaves provides
a nice visual display in this part of the park.
And I just had to take a photo of this.
The plant in the centre I know as
‘Castor Oil Bush‘ which Google tells me it is not.
However, we had two great clumps of it,
not in the garden but not far away.
They were about 5 – 10 metres in diameter and I spent
a large portion of my teen years trying to eliminate them.
Imagine my surprise to find it being cultivated
about 400 metres from Buckingham Palace.

Wonderful photos. That’s so interesting about the plant in the second photo. One man’s weed and all. Thanks for joining the challenge!

Thank you. One man’s weed… I forgot to add that this plant grew up to 3 or 4 metres tall with some of the stems being 5-7 centimetres in diameter.
