Ornamental Grasses

The same species as the kale used as a food,
ornamental kale is edible to humans, though it may not taste as good as kale more traditionally used for food.
No invites please, better details in large.
This ornamental grass was taken behind my pond
I always leave my grasses till spring for some protection for the birds
also for some texture in our bare garden,
I love when they start getting gold tones.
I hope your Monday is a great one,
Taken before the February Winter Freeze Storm; sadly 90% of the flowers didn't make it, including this one.
The first time I saw Ornamental Cabbage (in bluish purple color) was in New Jersey during the winter months, they often got buried in the snow for days and still thrived.
I guess some were hardy to the cold and some are not?

"DECORATIVE ORNAMENTAL TREES FOR STREETS"
El árbol ornamental es el que se planta, cuida y se utiliza
con intenciones decorativas en calles y jardines - sobre
todo - en todo el Levante mediterráneo.
Las naranjas urbanas plantadas por los ayuntamiento son
amargas y no aptas para el consumo humano, porque su
piel absorbe todos los gases y productos tóxicos derivados
de la polución urbana como el plomo y los metales pesados
de las emisiones de los vehículos.
Last winter I headed into the New Forest and went to a spot I've been meaning to go to for a while, Ornamental Drive in Bolderwood near Blackwater Arboretum.
The road winds its way through a wonderful example of New Forest woodland, with Oaks, Beach and Ash clawing at the road. Being winter the ferns were bright reddish browns and the moss vibrant greens. I walked the road taking a number of pictures as there were just so many compositions, enhanced by the leading line of the road. Cyclists and New Forest visitors journey up the road to visit the deer park at the top, but the road is narrow enough to stop any fast driving or through traffic.
The sun was low on the horizon and there was a lot of cloud cover stopping any bright light contrasting against dark shadows. The perfect conditions for winter woodland photography. I hope you enjoy them as I'll be loading up a few over the next few weeks.

Ornamental kale is a fabulous ornamental because it lasts longer than just about anything in the garden. It even survives a few frosts. Although edible, it's bitter and used more as a garnish.
Thank you for viewing and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day!

The small ornamental garden was laid out on a terrace overlooking the River Calder at the rear of the house by Charles Barry. The semicircular terrace wall is Grade II listed. The course of the river was diverted away from Gawthorpe Hall in the 19th century because of pollution and again diverted to accommodate an open cast coal scheme north of the river in Padiham in the 1960s.

Ornamental cabbage and kale are very close relatives of edible cabbages and kale. They are in the same species, Brassica oleracea, and although they are still edible, they aren't as tasty and tender as their cousins. They have been bred for looks, not flavor. ... The plant in the photo is an ornamental cabbage.
This pomegranates are from ornamental pomegranate tree,
the small one is less than an inch, set in abalone shell that I often use
for inlay on jewelry boxes, furniture, and jewelry making.
A neighbor's ornamental magnolia, Magnolia liliflora. These are small trees, but they tend to be almost covered with large pink flowers. This was blooming in early march. This flower, and others, were seriously nipped by a frost. Also known as tulip trees, and by other names.
Thanks for looking!
Isn't God a great artist?
When the male Rufous Hummingbird’s gorget hits the light it’s the most amazing orangey-scarlet. This was the best I could do, they’re zippy! Note the band on his teeny foot.

... its an ornamental banana ...a fantastic plant if you like the look of lush tropical foliage...
You may need some space for growing a cold hardy banana tree though...:-)
Growing in a pot on our front steps, this has brightened the front of our house since before Christmas. I believe these are flower buds, but they might just be more leaves.
Thanks for stopping by!
