February Foliage Follow Up

by admin on February 19, 2010

It’s February 16th and that means it’s time to celebrate the foliage, berries, bark and seedpods that are adding interest in your garden.  This monthly tribute, Foliage Follow Up, is the brainchild of fellow blogger and ’roundtabler’ Pam Penick of Digging.

As you’ll notice, all my photos today feature snow.  With 8+ inches on the ground and several more in the forecast, that’s all I have to offer this month.  But even though the pickins’ are slim, what I do have it adding some interest and color to my winter garden.

The contrast of the fresh white snow really brings out the color of these beautyberries

Snow is the perfect background to highlight the color and texture of Gold Thread

I can't wait for this Pieris japonica 'Pygamea' to grow a bit so I can easily see the finely textured leaves and winter color from my office window

Don’t forget to head over to Digging to see beautiful photos of foliage from Pam’s garden.
