Wednesday Vignette, the Podocarpus show

If the non-conifer-like foliage of Podocarpus matudae didn't already have me under its spell, then the way the new foliage unfurls would pull me in for sure.

It's a two-fer for my Wednesday Vignette, because I couldn't decide which photo to use...

  1. A conifer?! who would have thought. The unfurling looks like a delicate dance.

    Unfurl seems to be exactly the right word for it.

  3. That new foliage is cool. I didn't know Podocarpus was a conifer. I really think only a gardener notices and appreciates things like this.

  4. Love our matudae, bought one as a rooted cutting a few years ago and is growing slowly but nicely

  8. Such a cool conifer. Mine died this winter, unfortunately. Not a good year for new plants, even if they are normally hardy. My Schefflera taiwaniana should do better in its place.
