Foliage

Foliage
We have a number of Oak and Chestnut trees in our garden, and for most of the summer they cast a deep shade, so the plants I have planted beneath them have been chosen for that environment. But, just for a few weeks in spring, before the trees come into full leaf, we can see them in a brighter light!

They are plants grown not for their flowers, which are mostly insignificant, but for their foliage, mainly Heucheras and Hostas, but also some woodland Geraniums and a species of Euphorbia which thrives in shade, and has curious green flowers.

Gianni, molte grazie! One of the reasons that I bought the Sony Alpha was to allow more close up photography, but I have not really explored the possibilities so far.

You are right, - there are too many subjects here, but I wanted to show that sometimes even foliage can have bright colours!

Ciao, Mike
