Love picking up magazines in French & also Dutch on my trips back & forth to Brussels on the Eurostar.
🌿☘🍃🌱this article on plants in the shade is interesting.. something to remember some plants prefer and have adapted their leaves to still photosynthesis in minimal light source. Delicate leafed plants have found protection in woodland areas protected by trees from winds & cold. We have seen in the recent intense sunshine our flowers and leaves not coping shrivelling and drying out ...so perfect balance of light and shade is needed.
Loving the triangle leaves of the La pericaire 'purple fantasy' the gold and purple extenuating the shape..
...mais rampant et couvrant étroitement le sol comme de la mousse... some plants form a densely packed ground cover like moss.
So yes there are petits bijoux de l'ombre...
I have found a link for our biology students to compare plants in sun and shade Biology Field studies plants light & shade
