Description
It is a lovely blend of the sharp and the soft, green veins and solid purple
It is commonly known as Bear's Breeches
But it has a more stately name in Greek: Acanthus
And it has a place of honor in the ancient architecture of that society
At the top of a Corinthian column you will find a leafy design
It's called the capital
That design is based on this plant
Spiny bracts guard the flower It is commonly known as Bear's Breeches
