The glimmering metallic-purple sheen of these beautiful plants in the shade of my huge pecan tree really dazzles me. Their origin is tropical Burma (Myanmar) not Persia (modern day Iran) so whoever named them didn't know geography very well, but I say thanks to whoever brought them to America.

Persian Shield Shimmering In The Morning Sunshine
Whoever named this tropical plant didn't know their geography very well. Its origin is Burma not Persia (modern day Iran), but I'm glad we now have it in Mississippi. The metallic-looking leaves of purple and silver are dazzling.
