The color is incredible by the way, and yes, that is one big leaf.:) It reminds me of a plant we have here in the states, you might have it too, and it's called Elephant Ears. It has huge leaves. We have one growing in my dog's lot and she stays under it during the day to get shade. She is about 80-85 pounds and it covers her perfectly.

Hello matte5, Nice photo! I like the color. It's a rhubarb? What kind of plant is that? This looks quite big too for me. I just wonder how does the other leaf look like if you said it is as big as an umbrella...

big colorful leaves - a pile of all leaves
Leaves can really be very pretty, you just showed how pretty they can be. I look forward to your pictures and wonder what you will show us next. I don't have any huge leaves to show you, but I have some fall leaves from last year.
