Additional Information
Most of us are used to recognizing English when it’s in its juvenile stages and the leaves are highly veined and have three lobes. But when the plant starts to get enough light, and is ready to produce flowers, its leaves lose their lobed shape and veins and can look remarkably different from the previous stage.
