Foliage Follow Up

On the heels of GBBD hosted by Carol over at http://maydreamsgardens.blogspot.com/ Pam over at http://www.penick.net/digging/ host Foliage Follow Up where you post just the foliage. Today is my first time participating.

Blueberry Bush is giving us some nice Fall color.
Oak Leaf Hydrangea
Variegated Hydrangea
Stonecrop should soon be all yellow...
Chocolate Ball Sedum is getting a hint of red to it. Must find out the difference between a Sedum and a Stonecrop....is there any?
I am falling hard for this Creeping Phlox!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I am Thankful for the rain that woke me early this morning!

Gail said...

Hey Darla! Tell us more about your new garden crush~the foliage looks wonderful on it! gail

Dorothy said...

Beautiful! I love to see how the foliage changes! Are you a 'Master Gardener'? If not, you should be! I'm not sure about the requirements, but I'm sure you could meet them!

Susie said...

Love seeing all the foliage changes Darla.

NanaK said...

I enjoy seeing your fall foliage. We don't have a lot of color changes around here. I think we are borderline on growing that Oak-leaf Hydrangea, but I'm still wanting to give it a try if I come across one.

Karen said...

Darla, once again, new plants that I know nothing about....love the Chocolate ball sedum--anything with chocolate in the name is a must have for me, and the creeping phlox...now that is something different, too. I've gotta start looking around for these gems.

Val said...

Oh this is beautiful! I could have joined in that one on my last post about fall colors. I will have to take more pics and check that one out. All of my flowers are gone now. It is pouring rain here too. I love it.

George said...

You've got some beautiful foliage to share with us. Your garden is still beautiful.

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Hi Darla, That Blueberry Bush IS gorgeous... Love its Fall colors. That Phlox is so pretty and green and healthy looking....

I always think of Stonecrop as being a 'soft' leaf wheras Sedum has more of a coarse leaf... Don't know if that is totally true though....

Hugs,
Betsy

The rain woke me up too and it sounded so nice! Not so nice when I got soaked walking my grandson to class this morning though.

I really line that chocolate sedum/stonecrop. I didn't know blueberry bushes turned red too. Pretty.

Prospero said...

Love the sedum, Darla.

Becca's Dirt said...

I know you are happy to see the rain. We sure were. Love your sedum.

Julie said...

Lovely fall color!!!

G'day Darla ~ Never have I seen an oak leaf hydrangea before. Have to check this out ...

Have a beautiful & blessed Thanksgiving holiday.
TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon

Corner Gardener Sue said...

Oh, I'm glad you had the rain. I like the different colors of your foliage. I did my FF post ahead of time, but forgot to schedule it to post. I'll have to do that when I get home.

How are the newlyweds?

Pam/Digging said...

Nice to see your fall foliage colors. That blueberry bush sure has a rich red.

Catherine@AGardenerinProgress said...

Very pretty. I don't think I used to appreciate the beautiful fall color of blueberry bushes. While driving to Canada this past weekend we drove through fields and fields of them all in that pretty orangey color.

Patsy said...

I hope the rain will know when to stop every thing got a good drink but it was to late for some bushes here.

RBell said...

Love the Hydrangeas - I've just started trying them in my garden.

Cat said...

Hi Darla, your foliage looks wonderful and lucky you to get some refreshing rain. I've been trying to hunt down an Oakleaf Hydrangea but no luck as of yet...hopefully I'll find one by early spring.

Robin Beck said...

Beautiful! We have snow in our forecast...hello, this is Seattle not Denver Mr. Weather man!

:)
Robin~♥

tina said...

Great color on the blueberries! I love them so much. The phlox-what kind? It is wonderful!

Rose said...

You have some lovely foliage and so many blooms, Darla. Until this year I didn't realize that blueberry bushes took on this rich fall color--yours is gorgeous!

You asked about my Itea 'Henry's Garnet'--yes, it is a sweetspire. I'm looking forward to seeing its spring blooms as well as fall foliage next year.

Floridagirl said...

I am thankful for that rain too! Glad our gardens are getting a drink. Love that colorful foliage. I didn't know blueberries colored up like that. Very pretty!

imac said...

All beauties and love that Header Darla.
Hope the wedded couple are fine too.

Racquel said...

I love the texture and color varietions of foliage. That Hydrangea is a wonderful example. :)

Skeeter said...

Am glad you had rain. We had a little but not enough. Better then nothing though....

Today, I am thankful to be getting things in order....

Hey Darla girl how are you !
I am a creeping phlox fan .. I have a variegated type too .. they are gorgeous in the Spring here up north.
Our trees are completely bare now so no Fall colour to be had .. it usually disappears quickly anyways .. now it is time to decorate a little for Xmas .. I really want an oak leaf hydrangea .. Little Honey was one I had my eye on .. maybe next year !
Joy : )
