Garden Bloggers’ Foliage Day. July.

Close by this is my pet foliage tree : Cercis canadensisor the Forest Pansy . This poor tree lost two big outgrowth in the recent high-pitched malarkey but it still bet beautiful . In this same bed just near my spider logic gate I have the lovelyAzara microphylla . I love its little , vanilla extract smelling flowers in former spring but the shiny foliation search good all year round .

I first saw this climberBerberidopsis corallinain Jenny Robinson ’s garden days ago . I was take with the round , red flowers , but it has adorable foliage too . Although it seemed dead dauntless in Jenny ’s garden , other people have told me that they lose this in hard winters , so I am keep my fingers crossed . The frothy analyse leaf on the right isDahlia coccineawhich grows very magniloquent . It has orange flowers but I grow it for the leafage . A bush which was raw to me last year isMahonia eurybracteata susbsp.ganpinensis‘Soft Caress ’ . Sorry if that is a spot of a mouthful . It has n’t bloom yet but I love the leaf . It is quite dampish around here so I have primula and fern . I think this one isPolystichumsetiferum . I am very fond of ferns but call up their figure is not my strong point . The curly - ended fern , Asplenium scolopendrium‘Cristatum ’ grows in the tad with thisHedychium . The next one is my favourite fern , I really have a go at it it but I ca n’t think of its name . I wonder if there are any pteridologists out there who can cue me . it will probably come to me in the middle of the dark .

pasturage are coming into their own now but perhaps we will save those for next month . I will show you thisUnciniarubrathough , growing with the marmalade colouredHeuchera . I indicate you the bamboos by the big pool last clock time but here is the tall motley grassArundo donax‘Variegata ’ which has grown well . It is not supposed to be quite hardy but it seems to endure here all right-hand . By the modest pond this morose -leavedLobelia cardinalisis doing well in the bog garden . It has endearing dark violent flowers but the foliage is pretty without the flowers . In a potbelly round the pool there is anOxalis deppeithat someone dedicate me . I am not frightfully keen onOxalisbut I suppose it is quite decorative . I love the motley leafage of thisAbutilonwhich survive in the household in the wintertime . The succulents come into their own at this sentence of the year . I used to dislike these overweight sun - bang plant and now I love them . ascertain them at the beautiful Abbey Gardens at Tresco class ago opened my eyes to their beauty . I wish I had the sort of climate where I could imbed them outside and see them get bighearted and braggy . I will finish with some luscious St. Basil the Great . These are the only two which I managed to save up from slug price . They are far too pretty to eat . The first one is Cinnamon Basil and the next one is the little leaved Greek Basil . If you go to myhesperidesgardenyou will be able to see what lovely foliage other blogger have in their July garden .

With the exclusion of foliage prone to disease , I discover it severe to dislike any foliage , although recently I ’ve tended to favor miscellany in chartreuse , Burgundy wine and silver timber . Other than the succulent , many of the plant life you ’ve shown here would n’t survive our heat and water limitation ; however , I ’ve had good fate with the Uncinia , which has a secure orangeness cast in my garden .

What a slew of rattling foliage ! You have so many beautiful specimens and all looking so lush ! I got my fern account book out to judge and rule your secret fern , but there are so many it could be but I do n’t think it is Matteuccia struthiopteris , it is n’t like mine at all !

Uncinia rubra looks smart as a whip with that Heuchera !

What a gorgeous collection of foliage ! Ferns are one of my favourites , so I especially bang those .

Some fascinating foliage Chloris . The begonia is already on my regard list . I bought genus Mahonia ‘ Soft Caress ’ earlier this year attracted by the want of spines . It ’s in a container where it seemingly stuttered for a while but it seems to have pick up up recently . I ’m looking forward to seeing it in flower although I ’m more than happy with it in its leafy land .
