Features
This is our lady, Jungle Diva™ Leila™! True to her name, this dark beauty hails from Peru and Ecuador, where she thrives in the humid understories of the forest like a moonlit muse. Her round, glossy leaves reflect the lingering light in bold shades of ebony-green and purple. She is the sultry counterpart to our much preppier Jungle Diva™ Roxie™.
