Top ten lists seem to be popular and as a result people are creating more and more of them. While a list of leaves may seem a strange choice, this collection is not of individual leaves but of plants with interesting leaf shapes and colors. I found the list on the Magazine8 website. I am not sure that I would agree with their choice, but see what you think.
Leaves, they are said to contain the essence of a plant?s life.

More commonly known as the ?ant plants,? Dischidias are small specimens that come from the family called Asclepiadaceae. It is a family of peculiar plants: climbers & trailing plants with puffy-pocket leaves that are similar to ravioli. These pods are known as bullate leaves. The insides of these plants can be empty (not comprising of ricotta and spinach) or in the case of some milkweeds, holding tacky, whitish-colored liquid. Dischidia pectinoides have leaves with empty insides. In its inborn jungles and rain forests, the leaves provide shelter to ant colonies, which in turn assist in pollinating the plant.
