Puka- Meryta sinclairii

A large leaf of the puka tree was the only thing I brought home from Wellington recently. It was lying underneath and had turned bright gold. It has sat for a couple of weeks in the garage and is now more a tobacco yellow/orange. In fact the whole leaf looks very like a small, dried  tobacco leaf.
I thought I would show the veins running like rivers through it but in the end preferred this rolled edge. I attached it against the ranch slider window to get maximum light shining through it but the sun came and went so rapidly I only got the extra in full sun. So I have gone with the rolled part in the middle of screen - leaf to left and green grass with some leaf reflection mixed in on right.Better in large too.
