Oregano leaves are generally small to medium-sized, typically measuring around 1 to 4 centimeters in length. They are oval or lance-shaped and have a slightly fuzzy texture. The size can vary slightly depending on the specific variety of oregano, but they are generally not considered large leaves.
Oregano can be identified by its small, oval-shaped leaves that are dark green in color and have a strong, aromatic scent.

I'm unable to show images, but I can describe an oregano plant for you. Oregano is a perennial herb with small, oval-shaped green leaves and often has a bushy appearance. The plant can grow up to 2 feet tall and produces small purple or white flowers, typically in summer. It's commonly used in cooking for its aromatic flavor, especially in Mediterranean cuisine.
The leaves of herbs (parsley, basil, oregano etc.) are edible, many other types of leaves are poisonous.
To dry oregano leaves effectively for long-term storage, you can hang them in a warm, dry place with good air circulation until they are completely dry. Alternatively, you can spread the leaves on a baking sheet and dry them in the oven at a low temperature. Once dried, store the oregano leaves in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
