Autumn Vibes
Eupatorium rugosum 'Chocolate' (Snakeroot) with Hydrangea 'Snow Queen' I love autumn - the crisp, cooler temperatures, the rain, and most of all, the fall colors. The year looks to be a nice one. I got back from a trip to Alabama last week and found that the colors were in full swing (unlike Alabama, where the temperatures were lovely with the exception of some mugginess but alas, no color at all). Japanese Maples are the first thing I think of when autumn comes to mind. This one is 'Bihou' and one of the first to change color. Acer palmatum 'Bihou' Other trees are beginning to change as well, including the Redbud 'Flame Thrower'. 'Flame Thrower' Redbud ( Cercis canadensis ) The star of the show now, however, is the Stewartia. It is just amazing and I remember it was beautiful last year as well. It's chief rivals, the Ginkgo and Black Tupelo, are only showing hints at the moment. Stewartia pseudocamellia The shady path - The most d...
Lovely capture, Phillip! I bought this one last year. Does it self sow?

I can almost "hear" it!
ReplyDeleteThis is one big grass. Lovely with the back lighting.
ReplyDeletePlanted this a couple of years ago, and it is a complete star in my garden! Thanks for an awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteI do love that grass, Phillip; actually there are few ornamental grasses that I don't like. Wonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Adagio and light Phillip. Great photograph!
ReplyDeleteI Love this grass. It is wild and free and makes me happy to look at it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, Phillip.

Looks so lovely. Please tell me it doesn't self-sow and I'll try it. My husband has practically banned grasses here after love grass seedlings took over the gravel driveway.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this grass self-sow.
ReplyDeleteA tall grass. I think I have seen a grass like that in our farm. Nice shot.

Came back to see your answer. I'd love to add more grasses to my garden because they are definitely drought and deer resistant.
ReplyDeleteI've been growing it for several years and have never seen it self sow. I almost wish it did; it's not easy to find here.
ReplyDeleteI love miscanthus. I actually think they're quite addictive. Very graceful late summer stars.
ReplyDeleteDo you know m. sinensis 'malepartus'? I saw a mature one growing at a nursery some time ago and was really taken with it.
Adagio is a beauty and that's a nice shot Phillip.
That's a gorgeous shot! I've been looking for adagio locally with no luck. Finally decided to put it in my basket at Bluestone for a fall order.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I thought you had stopped blogging. For some reason my bookmark for your blog kept showing your December post ... Christmas aftermath, in which I fall in love with a Kindle. Today I clicked on your website button and then your blog button and voila!
