There is a lot of new growth in the garden
but I just chose a few pictures for Foliage Follow-Up.
So much is coming up and getting new growth and blooming,
that it is hard to keep up with it all.
I love the way the center of Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium) looks when the new fronds begin growing.
I'm not sure what the blue succulent is,
but I'm pretty sure the green one is Coral Reef Sedum.
The Golden Barberry (Berberis aurea) must have likedthe cold winter - it is brighter and fuller than usual.
I use Tri-Color St. John's Wort as filler in my perennial beds.
This one is low-growing and spreads slowly.
I need to thin out the Parrot's Feather in the pond or the poor goldfish won't have anywhere to swim.
Hope you enjoyed this sampler of foliage from my garden.
HI Marsanne - thanks for visiting my little blog project. My ranunculas are just in planters and we treat them as annuals here in the Toronto area. I really like the succulents in your garden - especially the blue one.
ReplyDeleteI love bird's nest ferns-I would love to have one in my yard. I've never seen one in the "new foliage" phase before-they are very cool looking! Your GBBD blooms are all beautiful too-what a beautiful variety of plants you have!
ReplyDeleteThat bird's nest fern is so interesting. Thanks for showcasing it this month.
ReplyDeleteAh, just beautiful. I've never seen bird's nest fern before from that angle. Thanks.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteI would love to grow a bird nests fern in my garden - they are so architectural.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see I'm not the only one with green "coral" reef sedum. The only time mine was reddish colored was when I bought it! I absolutely LOVE the birds nest fern. I have one indoors in a pot. Guess I didn't realize it would grow outdoors in your area but it makes sense.
