A Couple of Great Green Leaves!

I visited Gail at Clay and Limestone today. She's posted about her favorite greens. Frances at Faire Garden has also posted a "Green Post." This is in response to an event begun for this day, June 30, by Emma at A Nice Green Leaf. Emma's site is a new one for me, but I decided to join in and create this post! :-)

Taken May 21 at my niece's home.
This is one bleeding heart I don't own....
but that could change! ;-)

The variety of leaves (greenery) in a garden are often just as wonderful as the flowers!

The photo below was taken May 29 of an unnamed astilbe, unfurling its leaves.
Can anyone help me ID this plant?
I'm swept away by the red edges on the leaves.

These next three photos were taken June 8.
This first one is of part of my sunnyish front yard corner bed.
We can contrast the leaves of the iris and daylily plants to those of the sedum and the catmint. You might also notice the fallen leaves of a daffodil in the top left corner. ;-)

This is a close-up of my Blueberry Muffin Viburnum.
I planted it last Spring in the backyard, and this year it's blooming!
(The birds join me in anticipating the berries.)
:-)

Here we have a "Sugar and Cream" hosta, a sedum, daylilies,
asiatic and oriental lilies, a columbine (way back there),and a fewtulip leaves. :-)

Photos of these hostas were taken June 16.
At the top left you can see "August Moon" hosta and "Iron Butterfly" tiarella on the right.
There's a corner of "Golden Tiara" hosta on the right and in front...
gorgeous hosta "sieboldiana Elegans."
(I found it on the original planting map!)

Do you know who this is? A beautiful
hosta that was already here when I arrived. :-)

Isn't there always more?
But, I've been hauling dirt today.
I'm enjoying the rest!
:-)

The shade was buggy today! IVG left me a nice suggestion as to a mosquito/gnat eliminating spray in my earlier post. Check it out! I know I'm going to!
