This tree, that is now 10 feet tall, has been sitting gathering dust since the house was built 14 years ago. It generally gets ignored but hosed down occasionally to brighten up the leaves.
The leaves are thick and leathery and the variegation is unique to each leaf. Some mother-in-laws tongues hiding beneath it are now flowering with an attractive scent. While photographing them I noticed that "the tree" had produced an insignificant flower. I am now curious to know what it is.
