April Showers

Rhododendron 'Blue Baron' Greetings from a wet, wet garden. In between rains, I've managed to get a few photos... (And sorry for the erratic quality of these. I have a new phone and still learning how to use it. Some of these are from the phone and others from my camera). Acer japonicum 'Aconitifolium' ('Dancing Peacock') Flowering Currant ( Ribes sanguineum ) 'King Edward VII' Clematis 'Stolwijk Gold' is beautiful for the first time after languishing in the garden for five years.

The leaves have turned here and the color is breathtaking. I took a stroll this afternoon and took some photos in and around my neighborhood.

This group of maples is on the back side of a dentist's office -




And here is a pretty one in a bank parking lot -

    Phillip, if my maple looked like yours, it would be the pinnacle of success for me! I know what you mean about the color on some of the trees seeming to glow - I remember that from a fall trip back East once. I was astounded!

    This is in Alabama? I'm so surprised to see so much color. Absolutely STUNNING! Thanks for taking the time to go around and photograph these beautiful trees in all their splendor.

    Wow what great color!!! Most of the trees around here didn't have great color. Some out did themselves but others were so so. Thanks for sharing!!
