September Foliage

Wish we had some sun Hywel.......it has been grey, grey, grey. Your garden is looking beautiful. Green can be so varied in the garden plus all the autumn colour too.

We are enjoying some lovely sunshine at the moment Hywel. You have plenty of lovely foliage to keep your garden looking good all year round which is what we want.

Your garden still looks very interesting with all that coloured foliage.

Beautiful! I love foliage plants - such variety, and the different leaf shapes are so attractive. Bella is a real outdoor cat now!

It's been very dull and grey here today, but your photos have brightened my day up, they are all wonderful and show just how beautiful and diverse foliage can be!

Yesterday was lovely and sunny, but today it's never broken through at all.
I love so many of the autumn colours and your garden has lots...but they herald winter and I hate that :(

I enjoy your blogs Hywel. You have so many nice plants. I like to see the rain drops on Cotinus too :)

you have some lovely plants Hywel. the colours are stunning and just what the garden needs at this time of year.

A lovely blog reminding us all how much colour there is in the foliage of our garden plants, I love the picture of the Cotinus with the rain drop patterns;0)

Leaf colours do extend the colourful show all year. This is a lovely blog.

Lovely foliage plants Hywel specially like the Cotinus in the rain pictures too, a colourful collection you have to brighten your garden this Autumn/Winter, and what a super frame for Bella's pretty face :o)

All lovely. Raindrops make leaves stunning. I like Cotinus with the sun shining through the leaves as well. Bella is more beautiful than ever isn't she? Did you buy the lonicera as a standard or train it yourself? Looks very nice like that.

Lots of lovely colour Hywel, I like the Stephanandra... beautiful tints.The Cotinus looks good as well, and Bella makes a good model!Love the colours of the last plant.

Thank you all for reading my leafy blog :o)

Steragram, I did the Lonicera myself. I have several of them, so I chose a tallish one, and cut the lower branches off ... :o)

Lovely pics Hywel, its nice to see all the Autumn colours. Lovely pic of Bella... weve had a couple of days cloudy with some sea fog rolling in.... :))

Lovely blog, Hywel ... lots of ideas spring to mind. I have never thought of puttng my tradescantia zebrina outside for the summer but if its colour improves like that it will being holidaying there from now on. ;-)

Great Hywel - how old is it now?

Thank you Holly and Xela :o)

Steragram it's about 10 yrs since I took the Lonicera cuttings, and they were minute. After they grew, I kept them as little bushes, buy cutting them all the time.
I only made this one onto a lollypop tree last year (2012)

I love this time of the year, the colours change daily both in our gardens and out in the countryside, we are having some lovely days and would you believe I had to have the hosepipe out to top up my waterbutts yet again.
Smashing blog Hywel, some lovely colours and shapes and that does include the very pretty Bella who chose a lovely contast for her posing position, lol....

Thank you :o)
We're having drizzle every other day lol
