Fantastic Foliage

While I was visiting the Botanical Garden last week I saw some fantastic greenery. I’m a big fan of foliage in the garden. As some of you may know, Linda over at Meadowview Thymes did a great post yesterday titled “It’s not easy being green”. So here is my tribute to the wonderful world of texture, pattern and the color green in all its various shades. I could make an entire garden with plants like this and never miss the blooms at all.

Elephant’s Ears Alocasia “Hilo Beauty”

Fox Tongue Melastoma

Eulalia Grass Miscanthus sinensis “Gold Bar”

Knotweed “Painters Palette” (native plant to Virginia)

Yellow Root (native plant to Virginia)
