Each month on the day after Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, Pam at Digging hosts Foliage Follow-Up inviting bloggers to share images of foliage and to remind us of the important role foliage plays in our gardens every day of the year. Click here to see her post and links to those of other participating bloggers.
