Each month on the day after Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, Pam Penick hosts Foliage Follow-Up to remind us of the importance of foliage in our gardens every day of the year! Click on over to her blog to see foliage from gardens all over the world!
Some bloggers organize their entries so nicely around a certain kind of plant but as usual, my entry is as random as my walk around the garden to observe foliage.
Do you suppose that a bit of cutting back might be in order? Don't get me wrong, it's fun to live in a jungle but it's also nice to have paths.
I'm a big fan of coleus.
What could make the Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' and Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' combination even more fun? Throw in a pinky red acer palmatum.
Japanese maples are one of my favorite foliage plants. (Along with just about every other plant with leaves)
Farfugium japonicum 'Aureomaculatum' sharing a pot with some Meconopsis betonicifolia and some Cryptanthus outside on their summer vacation.
The strength of David's gaze keeps the Bishop's weed in check. It's arduous work which is why his brain is exploding.
A tillandsia enjoying her summer escape from the house.
The Danger Gardenette has almost no flowers at all. (Ignore the Begonia boliviensis in the elevated pot.)
What foliage has caught your eye in your garden this month? Why not join in the fun of Foliage Follow-Up? Thanks again Pam for hosting the party!
