People often undervalue the effect that green foliage has in a garden. During the winter months having a few evergreen trees or shrubs can be so rewarding so perhaps try and make room for a few. There are thousands of shades of green ranging from the vivid limes of Euphorbia (Spurge)Β to the olive-grey of Bamboo stems.

You combine your galleries so beautifully, Jude π π
Ah, thank you kind lady. All going swimmingly in the new home? We have a couple more nice days ahead of us apparently and then slide back to normal spring weather i.e. rain!
I was amazed by the blaze of crocus in bright sunshine on the news tonight. π π Looking relatively smart. Still no garden action. π¦ Would you believe, he’s still working on a couple of UK designs?
Some men find retirement hard to take! And yes the crocuses have been fantastic this year.
I don’t think you’d say that if you saw him lying on the beach this afternoon π π
A beach babe heh! I suppose he has earned a rest. I cannot remember the last time I actually lay on a beach.
A good point. Green does have a soothing effect.
Makes you feel good. Which is why a walk in a park/garden/woodland helps relax and de-stress yourself.
Beautiful and luscious shades of green, Jude. π
Nice and restful Sylvia.
Oh, yes. So many wonderful shades of green. Lovely, Jude. I love those blooms in the bottom left corner.
They are Helleborus argutifolius, the holly-leaved hellebore, or Corsican hellebore. Lovely plants.
I agree, in our climate there may be dull months, but green is a constant beauty.
