Caribbean Copper Plant Leaves Abstract IV.
Abstract of Caribbean Copper plant leaves in brightly toned colors. This image was taken with my in-camera "effects" setting then slightly colorized. Photoshop was not used for this image. Part of a series of abstracts.
Caribbean copper Plant, scientific name (Euphorbia Cotinifolia) is native to Mexico and South Africa. It is also called tropical smoke bush tree. This is an ornamental evergreen red color tree. Treated as a shrub, it generally grows 10 to 15 feet in height but can be grown up to 30 ft. Small white flowers with creamy bracts bloom at the ends of the branches in summer. The purplish stems, when broken exude a sap that is a skin irritant. It also has a medic value, and has been used in folk remedies as both an emetic and cathartic substance. Fishermen have been known to add the sap to water in fishing grounds to stun fish and force them to float to the top. It was also historically used as a poison for arrowheads by the natives of Curacao.
