This ivy (or whatever it is) at Tulsa’s Guthrie Green provides some cooling shade in the summer from Oklahoma’s brutal sun and heat. In the winter it provides some shadows.
A short distance away a bamboo fence (or whatever it is) provides a green all year screen between a parking lot and the sidewalk.
You can tell I know all about plants!! Never had a lesson!
The second shot is a type of bamboo. The first one I have no idea, but it does cast an interesting winter shadow. Years ago I visited a botanical garden in North Carolina and saw plants they had to put under a lot of shade so they wouldn’t die in their summers. One of those plants was hosta, a plant that is one of the easiest to grow where I live in New York State. Made me, in a way, smile, as I once tried to grow a camilla in my climate (and didn’t succeed).
Me gusto la foto. Ten una buena semana. Te mando un beso.
I like that screen, means you can look out of it too.
