The pictures were close-ups which clearly revealed the sheer beauty of hostas in company with ferns, especially Japanese painted fern. Lime green coleus contrasted with tangerine geum. The rich blue blooms of ajuga allowed variegated spikes of a daylily to kick. Berry Smoothie heuchera foliage romped with lamium and sage. The photography was gifted.

Her presentation was titled of The power point covered plantings around her home but also revealed her real business, which is bringing together dramatic combinations of foliage for clients in pots. Light in her mood, which was spritzed with humor, there was momentum to her sharing and audience esponses as the colors and textures eveled a tapestry not totally lacking in flower blooms. Blue agapanthus heads looked stunting above the chartreuse color of Wasabi coleus. hristina pointed out the stem col- ors in many plants. Noting that seasons bring a change in foliage color, she strengthened her position that foliages have so much to offer.

Oh, and she cautioned us not to whine because we have lots of shade. Foliages can rescue and reward such areas. This first segment in her program came to an end with Christina making her confessions, 13 of them. She is powerless when it comes to resisting foliage. Nurseries power her.

She admits or openly declares her addiction to foliages. She meditates about her plight. She does not hesitate remove flowers, which in her mind ave defects. She believes in the power of a credit card. The group moved outside for part two: Christina assembled three pot ollections.

She emptied a chartreuse grass from its pot and placed it into the grouping so that it dripped forward. Hardly missing a beat, she moved to a bowl-shaped, blue pot. Here she em- hasized totally filling the pot first, ith soil.

Then a red and green caladium followed. A purple foliaged Moses in a Cradle sprawled to fill space. An asparagus fern and a gray cascading plant both brought impact. The pots were given away to three lucky ticket holders. Arnolds Landscaping, Kingwood Center and the Richland County Master Gardeners sponsored appearance.

Cheryl Corney, Joy Lauthers and I came away convinced that there is much truth in the belief that foliages bring beauty and character, through nlimited colors and textures. ary Lee Minor is a member of the Earth, Wind and Flowers Garden Club, an accredited flower show judge for the Ohio Association of Garden Clubs and a former sixth-grade teacher.

And, most say, the comments probably a re part of the attraction for some peo- le. rump is struggling with women, with national polls giving Clinton the ighest level of female support of any candidate in more than four decades and the widest gender gap ever recorded. eanwhile, exit polls show Trump won the GOP nomination with a coalition that included a large constituency of white, working-class men who lack a college education. things they said Florence uesdale, a 70-year-old retired teacher from Massillon, who says some of her family members have expressed views i line with gender-related comments.
