Why Pharaoh Mask has stunning 3D effect?

Colocasia Pharaoh Mask

🎭 Why Pharaoh Mask has stunning 3D effect?

👺 Colocasia Pharaoh Mask (tm) that we mentioned earlier is flourishing today in our garden!
👺 Vibrant green leaves highlighted by striking purple veins, giving a distinct 3D appearance.
👺 As they mature, the leaf edges curl, enhancing the purple veins. Each leaf, supported by sturdy, dark stems matching the veins' color, resembles a masquerade mask.
👺 A cluster of these plants creates a striking visual with its unique foliage and dark stems, standing out among other elephant ears.
👺 It's a must-have for any rare plant collector and is sure to be a showstopper and conversation piece!
