Foliage Follow-Up

Each month Pam Penick from Digging gives gardeners the challenge to express what foliage has inspired us.  Pam says that Austin, Texas is currently having a flush of fall color.  Here in the Texas Gulf Coast, fall color with the changing of the leaves is often very unreliable, however we are currently having a lovely show.  These pictures I took in my garden yesterday, I am enjoying this Bald Cypress in my neighbor’s yard.  The orange red looks superb with the color of my garage.  The rest of the photos, that follow are my current favorite foliage plants.
