Green is the colour

Rather a grey day today, with a few feeble attempts at drizzling. Did some more extreme gardening on my steep slope this morning, but enough is enough.

In the absence of an amazing Blip I thought I'd show some of the foliage plants in pots beside my front steps. Top left is part of a frond of Trachycarpus fortunei, the Chusan palm, at the top is a Schefflera - not 100% sure of the species, but something's been nibbling it! - and at the bottom, Begonia evansii, the so-called hardy begonia. All are hardy outside here.
