In nature, these leaves are deep green on top and lighter below.
I was trying to show in the Chinese version of this shrub (which I'm shooting for) the leaves are finely serrated along the entire outer margin.
Soooo, no Didierea, it's not white-trash jewelery.

Speaking of jewelery, did everyone notice the bug on Foz's Mystery Plant?
That looked like a fine jeweled pin.

It's an evergreen shrub or a small tree.

Some of the more impressive varieties have sharply toothed, glossy leaves.
