After a wild and crazy-windy-rainy night last night, I didn't expect to see much in the way of foliage still left in my garden, I figured it would all be on the ground or blown away. But there's still plenty to look at, considering not all the interesting stuff this time of year is in the trees (yes, that's right!). Besides, I already showcased the fall color in my garden
in a previous post here.

I wonder how long it will be before I am looking UP into the canopy of my two Trachycarpus, rather than down into its crown.
 |
| The new branches emerge all folded up like an accordion. |
 |
| Mother Nature puts human basket weavers to shame. |
 |
| Fall color on Schizachyrium scoparium 'Blaze' is a standout against the gravel and foliage of a Euphorbia |
 |
| As an ornamental grass, it hasn't been particularly noticeable till now. |
 |
| Lamb's ear and Kniphofia caulescens |
 |
| The chicks in this container look like they are trying to jump ship and join their friends in the gravel. |
 |
| Agave americana still in its pot, showing off the imprint of its teeth against the leaves |
I hope you enjoyed this look at some of the October foliage in my garden. Pam Penick of the blog Digging hosts Foliage Followup on the 16th of every month, the day after Garden Blogger's Bloom Day.
