Description
This colorful Gingko leaf part of a collection of pretty leaves that I collected in and around Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. According to Wikipedia, "Ginkgo biloba, commonly known as ginkgo or gingko[4] (both pronounced /ˈɡɪŋkoʊ/), also known as the maidenhair tree,[5] is the only living species in the division Ginkgophyta, all others being extinct. It is a very old species, with some fossils dating back 270 million years. Native to China,[2] the tree is widely cultivated, and was cultivated early in human history. It has various uses in traditional medicine and as a source of food." This series of leaves would make a nice wall collection or a gift of greeting cards
