I have no idea what plant this is but the leaves caught my attention as we wandered through the rainforest at Mossman Gorge. The older leaves were green, like everything else but the new leaves were this striking white.

This is the Mossman River which runs through Mossman Gorge in the Daintree Rainforest in Daintree National Park in northern Queensland. We hiked the trails in Mossman Gorge yesterday, an overcast and sometimes rainy day. The rainforest was spectacular and the hike superb even for those of our group who are less than avid hikers. Today we saw our first crocodiles and visited a sugarcane and cocoa plantation. So we've had a busy but wonderful trip thus far and have enjoyed the food and wine as well, though the beer is so-so.
