It's time for the changing of the guard. The hosta foliage to the left will soon fade to nothing and the Arum italicum foliage will take center stage staying green, fresh and almost tropical looking all winter.
I love the variety of different leaf patterns available and have tried to get several different varieties of A. italicum.
Soon the soil and all of the debris will be hidden by lush foliage. Why bother cleaning it up? I'm way too lazy!
So far my rhodocoma capensis is lookin happy! Let's hope we have a mild winter and it's in a sheltered enough spot!
Still some lovely autumn foliage persists. This is kind of a neat trick, maybe we'll just have fall until spring!
You may remember my posts about Chief Joseph lodgepole pine
here The one that my sister and niece got me in September is beginning to go through its seasonal change from deep green to bright gold. Very exciting! Isn't Joey handsome?
I'm also way in love with Berberis 'Orange Rocket.' It has beautiful and bright orange foliage all summer (some people say that their orange fades a little to greenish in late summer but not mine) and has been putting on this fireworks show for at least six weeks now.
