Not sure what's going on with this leaf from my Choisya Sundance. I think the insect was confused too and had to take a bite out of each side to see if it tasted any different!

Yep, very interesting to look at - two lots of genetic info in that leaf and stem by the look of it, one side for green coloration, the other for yellow.

Hmmm, that's interesting ..... i have 'one' leaf on my Physocarpus Diablo that does it, not seen it on anything else to date !

I like that ,Lily! even with the holes...now if you could market that,as a new species,it would be a winner .Lol.

Never seen this happen before ... you sure you haven't been out with the paint pots here . . . .

Yes, very odd isn't it, especially as it's the only leaf like it...... and rather attractive too. No, no paint pots Shirley!
I hadn't noticed that the stem was the same, Bamboo.

I had a good look at it, Lily - I can't any longer call myself eagle eyed, I guess it'd have to be eagle spectacled these days, lol!

Verrry interesting, you will have to find some way to preserve it Lily.

Same here Bamboo unfortunately.
Too late Val, it's been consigned to the compost heap!
