Pam at Digging hosts Foliage Follow-up on the day after Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day to remind us of the important role of foliage in our gardens. Join me in wishing this spectacular person, longtime blogger, inventor of the Garden Bloggers' Fling, and author a very happy twelfth blogging anniversary!
This begonia, purchesed at a fall plant sale from Windcliff Plants never made it into the ground. The pot is in a sheltered area outside and the foliage never died back. Crazy!

While it weeps during the winter, this Cylindropuntia, a cutting found by the side of the road beneath a free sign, will perk up again as the weather warms.

Mecanopsis 'Lingholm' How grateful I am to live in a climate that is favored by the glorious blue poppy. They like it even better in Alaska!

Here's some of the foliage currently thrilling me in my garden at the moment.
This begonia, purchesed at a fall plant sale from Windcliff Plants never made it into the ground. The pot is in a sheltered area outside and the foliage never died back. Crazy!
Likewise, Darlingtonia californica, the carnivorous Cobra Lily, never died back this year.
I love the pink tones that this Hebe takes on in cold weather.
While it weeps during the winter, this Cylindropuntia, a cutting found by the side of the road beneath a free sign, will perk up again as the weather warms.
Arum italicum has looked glorious all winter long and, as warmer temperatures arrive, it'll die back for the summer.
The big excitement is that some plants have decided it's time for spring.
Syneilesis palmata
Podophyllum 'Spotty Dotty'
Hydrangea
Persicaria 'Red Dragon'
Begonia pedatifida
Tree peony
Lonicera
Mecanopsis 'Lingholm' How grateful I am to live in a climate that is favored by the glorious blue poppy. They like it even better in Alaska!
I keep forgetting the name of this ground cover but love the hairy new growth.
Join the party and show us your foliage!
