Foliage Follow-Up is a meme hosted by Pam at Digging on the day after Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day to celebrate the important role that foliage plays in our gardens every day of the year. Better late than never goes the saying so here is some foliage that's caught my eye this month.
First up is one of my favorite foliage plants, especially in winter, Euphorbia x martinii 'Ascot Rainbow,' a 2009 introduction.

Alstromeria psittacina ‘Vareigata’ from Xera Plants is looking especially nice even though it's still in its black plastic pot in the pot ghetto.

Mahonia 'Indianola Silver,' purchased in the summer of 2014 at Windcliff on an adventure with Evan and Vickie, is still alive and has put on some growth. Such a spectacular foliage plant!
