A leaf is an organ of a vascular plant and is the principal lateral appendage of the stem. The leaves and stem together form the shoot.Foliage is a mass noun that refers to leaves collectively.
Typically a leaf is a thin, dorsiventrally flattened organ, borne above ground and specialized for photosynthesis. Most leaves have distinctive upper (adaxial) and lower (abaxial) surfaces that differ in colour, hairiness, the number of stomata (pores that intake and output gases) and other features. In most plant species, leaves are broad and flat. Such species are referred to as broad-leaved plants. Many gymnosperm species have thin needle-like leaves that can be advantageous in cold climates frequented by snow and frost. Leaves can also have other shapes and forms such as the scales in certain species of conifers. Some leaves are not above ground (such as bulb scales). Succulent plants often have thick juicy leaves, but some leaves are without major photosynthetic function and may be dead at maturity, as in some cataphylls, and spines). Furthermore, several kinds of leaf-like structures found in vascular plants are not totally homologous with them. Examples include flattened plant stems (called phylloclades and cladodes), and phyllodes (flattened leaf stems), both of which differ from leaves in their structure and origin. Many structures of non-vascular plants, and even of some lichens, which are not plants at all (in the sense of being members of the kingdom Plantae), look and function much like leaves. The primary site of photosynthesis in most leaves (palisade mesophyll) almost always occurs on the upper side of the blade or lamina of the leaf but in some species, including the mature foliage of Eucalyptus palisade occurs on both sides and the leaves are said to be isobilateral.
There are lots of plants that show their "wow" factor through their vibrant flowers, but there are many plants that can do just that with their leaves. In this series, we'd like to introduce a variety of foliage plants that will add the perfect accent (or even steal the show) to any mixed planter or bedding display.

https://soundcloud.com/foliagemusic https://foliagemusic.bandcamp.com 'Selfish' is the first single off the upcoming album. The song is about being naive and later coming to your senses. Manipulation, abuse, and all that comes with it. --- Lyrics: Do you remember that day? Do you remember that night? The one we spent in your room for the first time? Times were simpler then, we'd meet every weekend. Now it feels like our love is slowly dying. Don't let it die over my foolish mind Because call me selfish, call me rude I think I'm the only one to see you Do you remember that day? Do you remember that night? The one where I realized you've ruined my life. I was now aware, talking to myself as I grew wear. Now I know our love was just a facade And I'll let it die over your foolish lies An...

In this series, we'd like to introduce a variety of foliage plants that will add the perfect accent (or even steal the show) to any mixed planter or bedding display. In Part 2, we'll show you some examples of plants you can use in a shady location of your home. We've been experimenting with different plants that can survive without direct sunlight, and these are our top choices!

Verse 1
In the undergrowth,where there is no hope.
Neath the lions cage,grows the Foliage.
In the darkened cell,where no one can tell.
Hear the cry of rage,through the Foliage.
Verse 2
When the moon is white and the sun shines bright.
Look towards the east and the golden beast.
As the mist descends,as the world pretends.
Hear the cry of rage,through the Foliage.
Verse 3
Children of the night,as they hide from sight.
Neath the lions cage,where there is no age.
As his breath draws near,they must show no fear.
For when they must fall,they must surley,Die.......
