A small Nephrolepis exaltata (a Boston fern cultivar) hiding behind a Tamarind (Tamarindus indica). Seen from my breakfast table.
A most "delicious" sight at breakfast!!! The backlight is creating wonders! Wonderful exposure!

@gandz: If you would be living next door I would give you one of these; I raised four Tamarinds from seed :-)
a so beautiful light and the leaves look like as if they have golden flake. So nice!

Lovely shapes and shadows.

I love this MS, those shadows of the little leaves on the bigger leaf is beautiful.

@MaryB: My plants don't stop surprising me :)
The shadow and light work well together, but I like the peach fuzz.

@JoeB: Hope this will be an elegant tree when it's grown up!
Beautiful light on the leaves and the shadows of some other leaves make a plus.
