Color beyond flowers

My attempt at color without the use of a whole lot of flowers:  









 Have a great weekend and as always, thank you so much for stopping by!

  1. I think you've done a great job with the colors and textures of foliage. They last a whole lot longer than just blossoms.

    1. Hi Sue,

      You rightly said that He had done a great job with the colors and textures of foliage because today’s gardeners are increasingly drawn to designs that focus on foliage as the main element. While flowers bloom and fade as the season progresses, foliage offers vibrant color and texture throughout the growing season.
