Interesting late-season variegation, plus a couple more

The faint green edge before the thin white margin absolutely doesn't show until late September/October. Pretty neat!

I have never had ferns "seed out" in the garden before. I bet I have 8-10 of them this year. I guess the high heat and wet summer really made them pop. :)

Cool moss. Lord, do I have lots of it. :lol:

You may know that roundup doesn't bother moss so it is a good control where you want moss that I think is a pretty as hosta.

Will gladly change my grass with moss and stepping stones :wink:

I'll have to show some pics of my seedling bed. It is completely covered with moss. It's my natural mulch. :)

Those look great. I really like the look of the top pic with that little white edge, really sets it off. By the way, what hosta is that? :P
