Foliage Follow-up is hosted by Pam at Digging and is a follow-up to Bloom Day. Everything is greening up nicely here despite the fact that we are notably behind on rainfall.

Physocarpus
opulifolius 'Amber Jubilee' (Ninebark)
|
We have two Ninebarks in the garden. The other is 'Coppertina' and it is covered with a white powdery substance that I figure is powdery mildew. I plan to get out and do something for it later this week.

Cotinus
coggygria 'Royal Purple' (Smoke Tree) and
Salix integra
'Hakuro Nishiki' (Dappled willow)
|
 |
Deschampsia flexuosa
'Aurea' (Tatra Gold Hair Grass)
|
 |
Yes, there are flowers but I think the leaves are the highlight of
Cornus kousa
'Celestial Shadow' (Dogwood)
|
 |
| Picea pungens (Colorado Blue Spruce 'Globosa' |
 |
| Picea orientalis 'Skylands' |
 |
Abies pinsapo
‘Glauca’ (Blue Spanish Fir)
|
 |
| Juniper 'Daub's Frosted' |
 |
| Pinus contorta 'Taylor's Sunburst' |
 |
| White Pine (Pinus strobus 'Fastigiata') |
 |
| Japanese Maple 'Sango Kaku' |
 |
| Santolina ericoides |

You have some amazing trees and shrubs. I love the conifers.
ReplyDeleteEvery one a winner!
ReplyDeleteYou have great variety in your garden, Phillip, and you know how to set everything off. I'm not surprised considering how beautiful your old garden was.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Phillip. Oh, to visit someday!~~Dee
ReplyDeletePhillip, your conifers are just as beautiful as any bloom!
ReplyDeleteYou have a gorgeous selection of conifers. The Buckthorn 'Fine Line' has been on my wish list for a while. I just love how airy it is and it has nice bark too.
