Foliage Follow-Up after Bloom Day
January 14, 2010
As you snap pics for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day tomorrow, don’t forget to take a few images for Foliage Follow-Up on the day after. Many of us in the Northern Hemisphere won’t have all that much blooming anyway, so this will be a good chance to show off interesting evergreen leaves plus anything else that isn’t a flower: bark, cones, berries, seedheads, etc.
I look forward to celebrating foliage with you on Saturday! Leave your link on my Foliage Follow-Up post on the 16th so everyone can find yours. See you then.

LOVE your gorgeous garden photos. I learned about your site from Kathleen in Hillcountry — I am a gardener in Michigan, up to my knees in snow now! Your photos give me hope for spring 🙂
Thanks for visiting, Cindy! —Pam
Thanks for the reminder about bloom day & foliage followup. This is my first bloom day participation. Ironic, since my blooms are mostly withered from the freeze.
I had more hits yesterday at Hill Country Mysteries than on any other post since I started the blog. A bunch of folks clicked over to Digging and then sent me thank-yous for the referral. I’m tickled. Digging is a great resource.
Thanks so much for the link love yesterday, Kathleen, and for your kind words. 🙂 —Pam
Thanks, Pam. I will be doing my foliage post next week sometime. Weekends are always taken up with family pursuits. Avatar, we are coming to see you again! 🙂
Love that string of pearls not seen them before
I’m really sorry about your nursery closing. How sad! I hope they somehow find a way to revive it.
I am going to try to remember to do foliage this month. Thanks for the reminder. I lvoe those string of pearls. I have tried to grow them a couple of times. No luck. I think during winter I don’t have a window that is sunny enough.
Foliage follow-up! That’s brilliant!
Once again excellent idea!
Great idea, I’m in!
I’m behind with Bloom Day, so I’m not sure I’ll be joining the foliage fest, but I’ll enjoy everyone else’s.
After the single digit temps, I don’t have much foliage left, but I will sure try.~~Dee
Got it now, thank you!
Make it stop raining and I’m in! Seriously, all I need is an hour of dry skies….please! It’s not so much even for me as for the camera. Electronics and water do not mix…
Even if I don’t manage to post I’ll be checking out everyone else’s fabulous foliage!
Thanks for the reminder about foliage follow-up! And I love your succulents (actually, I plan on posting some of those tomorrow – hmmm…do they count for both flowers and foliage? Heck – why not, right?)….I LOVE your mariachis, too. Would love to have them play in my garden!
It’s bucketing down with rain out there now, but if it stops raining tomorrow, I’ll see if I can get a photo for Foliage Follow-Up (which I’m hearing about for the first time here. I’ll go and read more about it now 🙂
I love that plant! I don’t think I’ve grown it before. I started to ask if you take it outside for the summer, but since you live in Texas, you’d be more likely to take it out in a different season.
I just did my foliage post, and scheduled it to publish, I think, at 5 a.m.
This is the first time i see this plant. Are those nodules leaves or fruits? Awesome.
I think they act as leaves, Andrea. But I’m not all that familiar with it either. —Pam
I’m so happy to find a site with people as passionate about Senecio rowleyanus as I am! I have been very fortunate with my plant, it does grow slowly, but for the last 4 months I have had dozens of beautiful blooms on mine. The hummingbirds LOVE them as much as I do!!! It’s seems to grow a new flower at least once a week, my question about that is, where exactly do the seeds on this plant grow? Would I find them in the blossom or in the leaves? I’ve yet to find a clear answer. I really want to find out so I can start new baby’s for friends, family, and anyone else who is as amazed by this beauty as I, without taking any more off my bundle of joy!! 🙂
