Foliage Follow-Up March 2012

On the 16^th of each month Pam over at Digging asks us to remember how important foliage is in our gardens. I just love unusual foliage; both in texture and color. Currently, in Houston the entire city is covered in yellow pine tree pollen, so if some of these leaves look a little dusty that’s why. Luckily we did have a heavy dew last night that help clean a few leaves, but not all. These photos were taken today in my garden.

Parrot’s Feather (Myriophyllum aquaticum) this was a recent addition to my pond. We purchased this just last weekend. I love it!
