Peaches and Cream Japanese Maple Leaf

I was admiring my friend's landscaping and she told me about this tree and handed me a leaf to look at. I loved the pattern in the leaf and colors. Apparently it's pretty glorious many times during the year.
Love the shape and patterns.

My first thought was a Cannabis leaf. When I googled there are similarities .

Such a pretty subject for a photo. You’ve done a great job of showing the detail of the veins in the leaf. I like the simplicity of the composition too.

Nice detail and capture

Nice looking leaf! And yes, the patterns are great!

How pretty, a variety I've never seen before

@kwind Me too. The patterns and shape are what made me bring it home, put it in cool water until I could photograph it. Thanks Kim
@jamibann Thank you Issi.
@wakelys Yes, there are and it was one of my early thoughts, but I promise you it's not. When I googled cannabis, I could see that they were very different.
@grammyn Thanks Katy. The leaf had these bold contrasts without me doing much to it post-wise.
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian.
@craftymeg Thanks Margaret.
@hajeka Thank you Henk-Jan.
@fbailey Thanks Felicity. It was new to me. I was admiring her split leaf Japanese maple right next to it when she pointed this one out. I didn't recognize it as a Japanese maple at all.

I like the detail you've captured in the leaf and its shape is really pretty too.

@olivetreeann @thewatersphotos @will_wooderson @pyrrhula Thank you so much Ann, Gary, Will and Ferry. I was quite taken with the leaf.

@jb030958 @summerfield I admit I though it looked similar too, until I looked up marijuana and saw it didn't resemble too much. Thank you Jennie and Vikki for responding.
