Variegation in Plants





The forest is very green right now. Keep your eyes peeled and you may spot a rare variegated plant. A couple days ago, I spotted a variegated clover in a clover patch. It reminded me of a couple of variegated plants I have seen in the woods the last couple of years. Today I checked to see if they were still there, and sure enough they were. That sent me on a quest to see if I could see any others. Since the forest is so fresh and green right now, the variegation really stands out. Amazingly, a variegated blade of grass revealed itself towards the end of my hike. They are beautiful genetic mutations. Now is a good time to look for others...
