A lovely way to show all your foliage Cathy!
I think my favorite is the foliage of the moss. Great variety in your garden.
Here’s my Wordless Wednesday.
I had to scroll a long way before I found the autumn colour I was expecting. Love the combination of colour and form in the first image.
I was surprised myself, Christina, that apart from the witch hazels that have coloured up and lost their leaves there is not much in the way of autumn colour other than green – although still lots of leaves!
I love your foliage collage Cathy. A lovely way to display it.
I could have had a whole post-ful of ivies though!
Love the green and subtle fall shades…
You are right, Donna, they are still subtle – not what i would have expected.
Beautiful collection!
One word: luscious.
Thanks Rickii – these round-ups are useful to look at the whole picture in more detail
You have a lovely selection of leaves Cathy, the gales brought so many leaves down, we are lucky to have any left for Foliage Day!
When I took the photos of leaves on the ground I did pause and notice the variety of them, and the relative position they had swirled into. Will need to think about sweeping them up soon…!
Love it when the perennials turn red too, like your Ceratostigma.
I think that was about the only thing turning, Jessica, hence the relatively green foliage post.
I love the ivy and bark Cathy, the light coming through the fern leaves is beautiful, nicely captured with the black grass, Frances
Thanks Frances – I don’t stop to look at my ferns often enough, although I do often pause and admire the ivies
That Ophiopogan is nice Cathy. I mention ivy today in my foliage post. Is it ever invasive where you live? It grows in many of the old Chapel Hill neighborhoods.
It could be, if you ignore it. I just pull it out once it starts rooting where I don’t want it – but I love it because it’s always there, always green, and provides instant maturity once it gets going.
That ceratostigma has gorgeous autumn colour! I love the foliage combo in that first photo. And isn’t mature ivy a thing of beauty?
Yes, I love it, Janet. We do have lots of different ivies throughout the garden and apart from the occasional stern talking to we get on OK.
Oh that cerotostigma is most eye catching Cathy. Can’t quite work out whether it is growing in a pot or is planted. Janet has pipped me to the post with her comment on your first photo 🙂
The back of that fern sure is something, and it looks great with the grass. You put together quite a nice foliage collection and I’m surprised by all the green too 🙂
I was surprised at how much green there was too, Frank 🙂
What a great collection of foliage! I especially enjoyed the first shot–with the green and dark foliage together.
Thanks Beth – had to rescue your comment from spam!!
A tapestry of textures! Lovely!
