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
Love the crab apple and Viburnum "Mohawk"!
ReplyDeleteI luv all the pretty blooms! Thanks for sharing beautiful pic's.........Julian
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Happy Spring!
ReplyDeletePhillip,
ReplyDeleteI knew something was going on when the American Toads started calling. Never though much about Viburnum, this one is awesome!
Beautiful flowers. A just reward for all your work today. Happy spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous, Phillip. ;) The blossoms are all so gorgeous. We have had 50, rain, 50, rain, wind, 50... I'm drowning. The good news is that we do have some blossoms... best focus on those. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteLove your blooms! It's wonderful to be outside this time of year. I'm in Georgia Zone 7b and lovin' all the trees and shrubs in bloom.
ReplyDeleteSO PRETTY Phillip!!! I'm loving life right now as well, and there is still so much to come! Your photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderfully productive day in the garden. Remember 'no pain, no gain' applies to gardening! I'm thinking of a nice massage to ease these tired overworked muscles!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking fabulous!
A real treat for us northerners still dealing with cold and possible snow this next week... beautiful as always! L
ReplyDeleteAll lovely but I particularly like the crab apple.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Summer temperatures.
Those are some pretty pictures! It's hard to believe your that far ahead of us northerners. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm just happy to finally see some grass!
How wonderful that those beauties came out in grand style to welcome spring!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is really coming alive Phillip. It makes my heart go pitty patter seeing all those trees and shrubs blooming. It won't be long for our garden to spring forth. Happy Spring.
ReplyDeleteIt just seems like every flower tree has been more vibrant this spring. Hope it is a sign that we'll have a great summer.
ReplyDelete80s??? My goodness, here in MA we only reached the 40s.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you have so many blossoms to show off.
Gorgeous!
Such beautiful plants! I am sorry you are exhausted, but the garden looks all the better for all your work. Enjoy spring!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms Phillip. Tried to get pic of magnolia but failed. Maybe next yr.
ReplyDeleteBusy planting veggies & flowers. Spring is always a busy time of yr.
We're enjoying 50-60 degrees here in Baltimore. Great photos, I especially like the Yoshino, Bill
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love the crabapple--mine are still at least a month away from blooming here in Illinois; I can't wait. We've had unusually warm temperatures the past few days, and I've actually been able to work in the garden for awhile; I can certainly relate to your sore muscles:)
ReplyDeleteI must get a Yoshino cherry, I must!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The cherry blossoms are heavenly! Thanks for sharing your garden via your blog. I always enjoy visiting. ~~Rhonda
