I’ve been hoping for an opportunity to share these images and this week’s theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Patterns in Nature, seemed to be the ideal spot. They were captured at Cantigny Park in Wheaton last year and although they were growing in a heavily shaded area, the patterns on these plants really caught my eye.

The Nature of Things 
You got wonderful patterns from nature, Sue!! Lovely!!
Thanks, Indira! I’ve developed a new appreciation for ornamental leaves.
Great collection of leaf patterns!
Thanks, Sandy! Anticipating our biggest snowstorm of the winter tomorrow night, so it will be a while before we see anything like this again in the garden.
We have major snow on the way, also.
Stay safe!
Will do. You also.
Oh your selection of patterns and leaves are spectacular 😀
Many thanks, Cee!
Great photos capturing the beautiful patterns and colours on these stunning leaves…nature is amazing!
Thank you, Marianne! I was never a huge fan of plants that didn’t have much in the way of flowers but I am gradually gaining an appreciation for those that have leaves like this. I’m even contemplating planting some ornamental grasses this year.
I’ve thought the same as you and I’ve planted more plants with interesting foliage! I’ve planted a small border with grasses and they have looked really pretty recently covered with first frost, then ice and finally snow!
Nature’s pretty gorgeous and intricate isn’t it. Great pics.
Thank you, Miriam! Yes, nature is an awesome thing.
Gorgeous leaves.
Yes, they were really eye-catching.
Wow.. superb collection!
Thanks, Jyothi. I was glad of the opportunity to share them.
Beautiful colours and patterns
Thank you! Nature always provides the best subjects.
Couldn’t agree more
Nature provides many beautiful patterns. Lovely captures, Sue. 💚
Thank you, Louise!
