My Shade Garden looks very pretty right now. Foliage is the star of this garden.
Lace fern has pretty, shiny leaves. Of all the ferns I had growing last year this one was the only one that came back with some vigor after the hard freeze we had last winter.
Above is Alligator Shoes Hosta. I ordered 5 different varieties of Hostas and planted them last spring. This one is doing the best. Of course, any plant would suffer if they were being dug up twice a week by armadillos!
This is the underside of Colocasia fontenessii 'Black Stem'. Beautiful purple stem and veining.
This is Colocasia esculenta 'Black Magic' with the sun backlighting the pretty veining just right.
Black Magic again.
This is a close-up of an 'Illustris' Colocasia esculenta leaf. This Illustris leaf is an aberration, they usually have a purple-ish center with light green veining and stems. But I thought this leaf was so pretty that I snapped a picture.
