Default An unusual plant?

Gene Newcomb schreef
I think that what all of this discussion proves is that a picture is NOT
worth a thousand words. A fuller description of the plant with the first
question would have lead to less floundering around on the part of those

of us trying to help you. Your terms "looked unusual" and "a bit unfriendly"
are not very useful descriptors.

Surely all this discussion proves that a picture IS worth a thousand words.
A fuller description of the plant with the first question would have led to
more floundering around on the part of those of us pitching in here ("what
do you mean by that word?"). A term like "a bit unfriendly" may not be the
most useful descriptor but at least it is short and gets a message across.

Trying to identify a plant by a single leaf is not an easy matter at the
best of times.
