Wordless Wednesday...Foliage follies


The under-rated, the given, the backdrop to the scene stealing blooms. Color, beauty, whimsy, pattern, shape are just some of the stunning attributes foliage can bring to a garden! I say steal the spotlight back foliage, you are striking all on your own....

  2. Beautiful foliage, thanks for these lovely pictures. I love coral bark maples (if that's what yours is), you photographed it so well.

  3. Oh yes, it is worthy in its own right! Beautiful captures...I love the way the hostas stand like a small forest of trees.

  4. Very, very nice! I particularly like the photo of the emerging hostas. It is one of the few times you can see what is below all those full leaves.

  15. I'm really interested to know how you manage not to have ravaged hostas in your rainy climate. I have given up growing them, tho I love them so much and they would be perfect for my (unfortunatley!) shady patio. Are you not bothered by slugs and snails, or do you have a secret weapon for hosta protection?
