I was going to do a foliage post on palmate leaves but then a couple of other things caught my eye so it's random as usual.
NOID acer palmatum
Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web'
Phytolacca americana 'Silberstein' looks even better when the stems turn magenta and it has purple berries on it.
Ligularia palmatiloba
Begonia luxurians
Tender sedum who spends his winter days on my kitchen windowsill.
Fatsia polycarpa edward needham form

I'm a little envious of your Aeonium nobile!
ReplyDeleteLove that plant which I understand is monocarpic:( Hasn't bloomed yet but am thinking of getting some seeds in the spring to make more as I hear they germinate really well. If I do, I'm sure ther'll be extras to share.
DeleteYou've featured some really wonderful and unusual foliage -- well, unusual to me at least. I've seen pictures of other variegated Phytolacca, but never one with so much white as yours. I wonder if the berries produce equally variegated babies?
ReplyDeleteSupposedly they do but mine is in a fairly shady spot so hasn't produced berries yet. I'll certainly save them if they appear!
DeleteRandom is good when your foliage is gorgeous. You may be envious of the palms we grow here and I return that by wishing I could grow acer palmatum.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, the silvery ones like the phytolacca americana are the standouts to me.
Thanks. It's funny, I love acer palmatum (so many!) but they're so ubiquitous here that we often take them for granted and think that they'll grow anywhere. Is Texas too dry or too hot for them?
DeleteIt's hard not to be envious of all the great plants you Washington gardeners can grow, whether lush or xeric! Thanks for joining in for the foliage celebration again.
ReplyDeleteYes but you Texas gardeners can grow some cool stuff that we can't! Always fun to come to your foliage party!
DeleteI love love love your begonia luxurians and aeonium nobile. Everything is stunning! happy foliage day to you!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad you liked it.
DeleteSo many kinds of foliage. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's all wonderful! I especially love that begonia luxurians.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Begonia luxurians is a great plant that flourishes in the shade outside in the summer and makes a fun houseplant during the winter. If it gets too big, cuttings root easily.
DeleteI love the little pearl-like sedums.
ReplyDeleteTheir so pretty you have to sedum to believe 'em.
DeleteYou and Loree have just opened up a whole new world of fatsias to me!
ReplyDeleteWe both got Needham's lace from Cistus and Spider's web is available at Cistus and other nurseries, too.
