In June, looking down off the deck, I’m treated with this pleasant, textured view of the garden below. It changes over time, but this stage is my favorite of the growing season.

That’s very calming…..would be nice as a mural photograph (am I explaining that correctly?) on a narrow wall.
Yes, it would! Thanks, Alice. π
Fantastic hosta leaves I must say, not even one hole! The combo of textures is beautiful
Thank you, Allison. When they first unfurl, like newborn babies, they are perfect. And then the slug army starts on them! π
Wonderful palette of textures, Eliza!
Thank you very much, Steve!
Greens in different shades can be so very beautiful. Lovely Eliza!
Thank you, Agnes!
Lovely
Thank you π
Greenses! π
Very!
Good evening π
Buonasera!
Buongiorno π
This looks very beautiful.
Thank you, Anne.
I love the different shapes and textures, very cool looking!
Thank you, Mike!
So many shapes and shades of green. Always easy to look at.
Thank you, Jim. It’s a soothing color. π
Looks beautiful ππ
Thank you, Karen. π
I agree; when hostas and ferns are at their crispest, the garden is very satisfying. Flowers in July are lovely, but late Spring and early Summer seem so refreshing after Winter…
Yes, indeed, so true. One appreciates the contrast. Thank you, Peter.
It’s so very rich looking, with the abundance of green differentiated by the textures. Love this one.
Thank you very much. How you been doing these days? I hope you’re staying cool. How’s the fruit garden coming along? π
Gosh it’s been so hot. I stay indoors nearly all day, except when we take the dogs for their walk. π¦ I pray for autumn to arrive early, and for spring to arrive late!
The garden’s doing well. We’re getting tons of walnuts. (The last 2 summers we had almost none.) The peaches are pretty close to done, and they were delicious. The citrus are less plentiful than previous years. But the persimmon are going gangbusters. Lots & lots of fruit.
Yay for you, sounds delish!
BTW, in case you may be interested, I’m predicting an over-the-top fall foliage season this year because of all the rain we’ve had. The trees haven’t looked this good in years. New England peaks (north to south) Sept. 20-Oct. 20. It’d be a good year to visit. π
So restful and inviting. Like a comfy green quilt π
Ah, nice thought π Thanks, Val!
Gorgeous. Makes me want to walk along and touch each of the plants. What a wonderful combination.
Thank you!
As you know, ‘Texture’ is my thing – this is perfect!!
Thank you, Christina. When I saw the challenge, I just knew what photo I wanted to post. π
Reblogged this on anita dawes and jaye marie.
Mother Nature at her very best!
Thank you and for reblogging!
A wonderful combination of plants Eliza!
Thank you, Kathy!
“Textures” is a perfect word to describe this.
π
Yes, textures can be pleasing, too. In my front yard—dry, part shade, sun in the afternoon—I have finally gotten it into my little noodle that textures are what I must appreciate. Next year, I plan to revamp one of the beds with that in mind. And then, onward to the other beds.
Finding flowering plants for shade is challenging, while focusing on textures is relatively easy to do. You’ll have to post the results of your renovations!
Next spring and summer!
WONDERFUL garden textures Eliza! π
Thank you, Julie!
It’s a delicious combination, Eliza.
Thank you, Kris. π
Nice, and even better that it’s so thick the weeds can’t sneak in!
Exactly! Although oxalis always seems to find a way near the edges. π
Lovely! Just proves that there is no single color called “green”!
Yes, it’s true. Thanks, Denzil!
