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

    This scene relaxes me even through a computer screen! Love it!
    I'm getting ideas for how to use my extra rock, too.

    How inviting it looks as one meanders down the path toward the bench. Aaahhhhhh. I could sit there and soak up the scenery.

    The bench with just a glimpse of the statue behind, so inviting.
    You have the best statues, it seems to be hard to find nice ones.
    Some of them can be quite "cheesy".
    I am actually looking for a "Flora" statue for my Flora Glade at the moment.

    Lovely, Phillip. Doesn't look like my tired late summer garden. I love the bowl too.

    What an expanse of beauty. My garden is too small to show that, but I can really admire yours.

    It looks so spring like and peaceful. We already have a hint of fall up north. I love your roses in the post below too.
