Blooming Friday - Contrasts

Since my garden blooms have been featured again and again in previous posts, Im without blooming flowers this Friday. Instead I'm showcasing some 'blooming' foliage in my garden which look as good as a blooming flower. One look at these lovely foliage with contrasting colours, your eyes will immediately be drawn to the attractive red ones!

Left to right - Begonia Looking Glass, Red Coleus, Espiscia

The three plants not only have contrasting colours but also contrasting textures on their surface. While the two foliage on the left and right, have smooth and shiny surface, the centre one has rough coarse surface. The contrasting colours and textures of these foliage makes an attractive and lovely combination when they are placed together.

Lets see what else are contrasting in your own garden. Why not take a look at Katarina's Roses and Stuff for more interesting contrasts.
