Winter Greens (but not the edible type)

I have to agree, in winter it is nice to have the shape and texture of the evergreens. Loving your stumpery, Dawn. I had to google the candlesnuff fungus. Interesting read. Medicinal too? ( woodland trust uk ). Like the idea of it looking like candlesticks.

I love the Arum It. maculata - has it all. What are the lovely ferns please? Especially the one with the narrow white margins.

Love all the different shades of the winter greens Dawn and even though it's the middle of winter, they are preparing for spring, the Hellebore unfurling, and what an unusual green it is...

I couldn't agree more about the use of evergreen plants. I love ferns they do such a sterling job.

Thanks Kate, I’m pleased you like the Stumpery.
Stera, yes it’s a lovely Arum. I’ve labelled the ferns now, just one I need to check.
Thanks Janey, it’s been a kind winter, some of these would normally be a bit tatty.
Seaburn, The evergreen ferns are just perfect for winter, love them.

Nice to see so much green in your garden, Dawn.

Lovely Dawn, congratulations on your stumpery🙂.

Is that 'wild ginger' on Woodland Floor? I always thought it made a nice ground cover.

Thanks Balcony, Sheila
No it’s not but I do have a tiny wild ginger but it’s very slow to get going

Green is my favourite colour , so many different shades, shapes and textures, all showing well in your garden Dawn, my little stumpery has stayed good all winter, as you say it usually looks quite tatty, lol, even the ones that would normally die back for winter have continued to grow, I have fungus like that but never knew the name so thankyou for that..

Love your collection of Ferns Dawn

How you doing Sue, you won't have been sad to see the back of 2019.
Yes it's been a good winter.
Thanks Thrup.

Your welcome Dawn.😊

A good selection of evergreen plants, aren’t your ferns doing well? they have really taken off, and you have all the names too! my labels keep disappearing...I think the fox makes off with them......

Naughty fox. My labels are a nightmare to keep track of too.
The ferns are doing OK, I was worried the dry summer might have destroyed them, I just hope the deciduous ones are OK.

I am sure they will be fine......they are fairly tough!

Im looking forward to seeing them emerge. After the bone dry summer, the wood has been very wet all winter.
