Yuzuriha with long broad evergreen leaves 
was common in ancient Japan. Used as an
ornament plant for the New Year to celebrate 
the good relationship of the old and new 
generations.There is no English-name for it  -  Chev

None that have flowers
What do you have just plain leaves?
No, just shiny greens!

Some have flowers but
Exotic Yazuriha
treasured for their leaves

Ornamental  leaves
If one should know and that is
a lot of difference

For Chev's CARPE DIEM #653  -  yuzuriha

    Not every plant needs a flower.

    Leaves can suffice sometimes I guess too

    Definitely not greens! I grew up in the country and I always picked, "Polk salad," for my Mom and my Aunt. We also planted turnip greens in the garden.

      Thanks for the clarification CSH! Obviously not what I had thought.
