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
beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe so called landscaper I hired a few years back moved mine from the corner of the house to close to the front door. It has had pitiful blooms every since. I hoped the pouting was over with this year, but it's not. I'm not sure what I need to do to bring it back to its former beauty. Mary
ReplyDeletequite lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love peonies..have several that are swelling with buds now. Just planted some Itoh peonies and am awaiting their debut. Stunning photo. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh that is lovely! I have a similar colored one that is a single. It is blooming and so pretty right now. I bet yours is gorgeous when the whole bunch is blooming.
