The garden is still bursting with blooms!
But I needed to trim some of the foliage on my potted plants, so I thought it might be fun to do a "foliage only" arrangement. I clipped, clipped away out in the garden, gave it a little thought, and here's what I came up with. The "foliage only" grouping includes:
Several mixed cultivars of Coleus (
C. scutellarioides) that I grow in pots;
The wonderful framing element of Hydrangea foliage (
H. macrophylla);
A couple sprigs of the sprightly Dusty Miller (
Jacobaea maritima);
A fun, squiggly spot of Cosmos (
C. bipinnatus);
And several groupings of Polka Dot Plant (
Hypoestes phyllostachya), to add some character.
This was a fun one! I might try to do this more often in the future...it's a slightly more challenging departure from the equally delightful bloom-focused arrangements.
