Foliage Follow-Up, June 2014....

The day after Bloomday.....

time for Pam's Foliage Follow-Up.

I'll do the same as for Bloomday...

photos with few words.

 'Gold Dust' Acuba

 Yucca 'Color Guard'....thought this was a goner...deer & flood.

But, it's putting on pups.

 Lots of figs this year.  We'll see if they make it to ripeness.

 Yucca 'Color Guard' in New Front Bed.

 Grass Bed from back.

Purple Fountain Grass, Lemon Grass, African Iris...salvias & yarrow.

 Grass Bed from side.

Mexican Feather Grass, Gulf Muhly, prickly pear and Spanish Bayonet yucca, rosemary, etc.

 Grass Bed from front.

Agave Lophantha in front.

 Sago Palm...this poor thing had a hard time this last winter.

Along side, in Fenced Yard.

Aralia, purple heart, lamb's ear, dianella, liriope, asparagus fern.

Filling in slowly.....

 Yucca Rostrata in Island Bed in front.

This is really growing.  I hope I'm not sorry about where it sits.

 Soft Leaf Yucca....thought this one wasn't going to make it back 

from the Halloween Flood.  But, it's looking good.

 One of my new succulent pots.

 The other one...

 Fits into the 'Tropical Corner', on the porch.

So, that's it for this month.

We have more foliage here, than blooms.

But, we like it that way.

Go over to Pam's, and see more great foliage.

Digging.

'Til later...

Take care...

Progress....

We finally got to work on the Front Driveway Bed.

This is the way it looked last August.  Dead grass...awful railroad ties.  You can see the lovely view of the power boxes...ugh!

When we redid the Island Bed, we had chopped limestone left over.
We weren't going to use that on this side.  But, it worked out well.

So, here's where we are now.

We worked fast, between rains.

We dug out weeds and grass and lined the whole thing with limestone.

We ran out of the new stone.  So, we just borrowed from the other side of the house.
That makes the stones along the driveway sort of match...they're the same age.
Of course, now we have to replace those stones on the side of the house.

I moved this pot in, to 'stretch' the bricks.  But, it adds some interest.

A lot of the plants are from other areas.  In front of the pot are transplanted red Autumn Sage.

I moved an Artimesia Powis Castle.  Looks sad now, but will perk up with some pruning.
That's a new Society Garlic in the corner.

At the other end are three new Mexican Feather Grasses.  I think there needs to be two more.
In the back corner is the Unknown Agave.

It was moved from The Rock Bed.   Elli says it'll get shredded....but, I hope not.
It'll have plenty of room here.  If it does get huge, we can make the bed larger.

In the center is the new Yucca...which may be 'Bright Edge'.

We need to add more rocks...and, maybe more plants.  I don't want it too full.
And, of course, there needs to be mulch.
But, for now, it looks pretty good.

What do you think?

Happy Gardening...
