Autumn Leaves
'Dancing Peacock' Someone needs to write a song... :) With an atmospheric river and 30 mph winds predicted this past weekend, I was afraid the ginkgo, which had just started to turn color, would be stripped. We were lucky though and it remains intact. Gingko 'Princeton Sentry' After the storm... The Black Tupelo (Nyssa slyvatica) changes color from the inside out - The above photo was taken last week. Here it is today - 'Wolf Eyes' Dogwood (Cornus kousa) has never had such pink color - Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea', Crape Myrtle 'Dynamite' ( Lagerstroemia ), and Persian Ironwood ( Parrotia persica ) - Japanese Maple 'Beni Hime' - Serviceberry 'Autumn Brilliance' ( Amelanchier ) with tree peonies - Stewartia pyschocamellia starts the color show early. It has since faded to a much softer color - Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
That was such a nice thing for you to do! Congrats to Jan.
ReplyDeleteAnd it must've been gratifying to see how many readers you have who lurk but may not post frequently.
Hi C.C. - it looked like a lot of entries came from people whose hobbies are entering giveaways. I must have gotten on a list somewhere and the word spread.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jan.
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, so glad Jan won the hummingbird feeder! :-)

ReplyDeleteOh, that's too bad. They don't know what they're missing!
Couldn't have gone to a better person.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Jan won it
Congrats to Jan.
ReplyDeletePhillip - I just looked at how many comments you had - wow they came out of the woodwork for that one didn't they.
ReplyDeleteThat was so nice! Congrats Jan! (and I totally missed that day). :(
ReplyDeleteWow, dear Phillip, I almost missed this post of yours! I just 'happened' to see it...'cause I wasn't looking for it, that's for sure! What a wonderful surprise;-) I'm so thrilled, and it's very special, coming from you! I loved it the moment I saw it on your earlier post...guess we were just a match made in heaven...ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI'll leave you a separate comment w/my email, and you can just erase that, ok? Thanks again;-) Jan

ReplyDeleteCongrats Jan!
ReplyDeleteGlad the feeder is going to a great home!
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, I've been trying to reach you by your email contact, however my microsoft outlook won't let me get through. Is there another way we can be in touch? I could leave my email on your Blotanical plot, if you'd like? I noticed you don't visit that much so wasn't sure if you'd get it there. If I put it here, it automatically goes to your comments and I don't really want a lot of viewers of my email address. Just leave a comment to tell me if you'd like me to put it on your plot at Blot'l. Again, I'm so thrilled! Thx!
ReplyDeleteJan, you can leave me messages at Blotanical. I will try to visit there more often!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Jan from Montana. Wish I could send you the 3 little hummingbirds that are continually battling over my honeysuckle, They love it, They do keep my cat entertained. He loves to sit in the window and watch. Hope the hummingbird feeder brings you lots of happiness and good fortune.
ReplyDeleteThat post didn't sound quite right. I meant congratulations form a reader in MT to Jan. When I reread it it sounded like I meant Jan was from MT. Sorry.
ReplyDeletecongrats jan, wow 182 comments. it's hard to imagine people entering a contest just to win something. Suppose you win and don't like hummingbirds.
