Today I’m sorting through pictures I’ve been taking of leaves. I think I can identify most of them, although I will have to check in with plant-identification site MisterSmartyPlants for the soft needles (larch?).
I’m especially fond of the lacy ginkgo leaf. The purple leaf I believe to be smoke tree. The thistle leaf says, “Approach at your own risk.” The wild grape clusters are a giveaway for the broad leaves drooping over the pond.
By the way, if you like identifying plants, it’s fun to see how many you can help people with at MisterSmartyPlants.








Thanks!
What is the name of plant with the purple leaves?
Do you mean in this post? The pink/purple petals are on a clematis, which also comes in a true purple. If you have a photo of the plant you mean, post it at mistersmartyplants.com, and they will identify it.
