Fun fact…the leaves of which common garden plant have adorned the tops of Corinthian columns since ancient times? Answer - Acanthus mollis, commonly known as Oyster Plant or Bear’s Breeches, Sea Dock or Sea Holly. The “leaves” on a Corinthian column are decorative carvings of acanthus leaves, a motif originating in ancient Greece and Rome. These leaves are a defining feature of the Corinthian order, adorning the top of the column (the capital) and symbolizing endurance, immortality, and rebirth.
