Hi Phillip, great shots of foliage! I think I still pay too much attention to blooms and to little to foliage. You are inspiring me to have a closer look at the foliage of a plant and value it more. I love the photo of the ivy with the bells with the green patina!

Love those colorful leaves. My ornamental cabbage froze to death. It was pretty while it lasted. Can't wait to hear what you name your new blog/garden.
ReplyDeleteNow I know why Henry Mitchell so loved Italian Arum.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as always Phillip!
ReplyDeleteJust stunning! Although I do love flowers, foliage is so much more important.
ReplyDeleteDare I tell you that the Ivy is "Gold Child" ? "Gold Heart" has a yellow center. Would you like some?
I love the name 'Shady Pines' Keep us posted.
Love the Shady Pines idea... :)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog name!! I also love these foliage close ups. :o)
ReplyDeleteThat ornamental kale is amazing! What a beautiful color! And thank you so much! Thanks to you I now know that the tree the birds planted for me that I love so much is a possomhaw holly!
ReplyDeleteImpressed by the holly. Haven't come across that kind before.
ReplyDeletePhillip putting Shady in the name will get you traffic from some of the porn sites. I have a post on my blog called the Hooligans Big Snow about my dogs experiences with the snow of 2011. You won't believe the traffic from these sites along with spammers trying to hack my site I have for that one story. My daffs are starting to bloom.
