The leaves at this stage of development are ridged and hairy.

Even the underside of the leaf is reddish with short hairs as well.

The next pair of shots, were taken indoors - the first shot accentuating the ridges.

This one displaying tiger-like stripes, with the play between light and shadow across the ridges.
