The leaves in the photo are part of a very long trailing stem which does, indeed, stand out quite strikingly against the new growth of ground elder beneath.
This leaf is certainly moist - it was raining. I cropped the raindrops which were on the lens out of the picture. Fortunately, they had missed the crucial bit!
This is a hedgerow picture, I'm afraid, not a garden one.
Two things about that though:-
One is that I see hedgerows as a kind of extension of the garden - an especially happy approach when one's own space is cramped. Therefore, although I can claim no credit for its growth, I'm pleased to suggest a connection with this leaf!
The other is that anyone who has such a large amount of ground elder as background foliage in their own garden might have cause for concerns!
(At the same time, as you may know from LOOSE AND LEAFY, I am something of a campaigner when it comes to extolling the generally unacknowldeged beauties of ground elder!)

Thanks, Adrian.

It really stands out against thr green.
It looks very - moist, and almost fleshy. Interesting.

Hello Three Rivers.

Really vibrant, It's great to see some colour back in the garden.
Great contrasts and red on green really stands out.

Morning Hermes - glad you like the 'Red' photo.

What a vibrant image.
Hello Mo.
I find it cheerful too. It makes me happy because it sort of combines all the seasons - and I like being out in gentle rain.
