The dogwoods have been so full of berries this year, that they are just brilliant. Wonder if that is a winter prediction?
ReplyDeleteOur colors are really taking their time here in NC. But you're right it does seem to happen overnight!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you do have lots of color in your garden now. Simply beautiful. Do you have to bring in your Angel's Trumpet? I always think of them as a tropical tree.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks lovely and fallish in your part of the world. I love this time of the year and love all the fall colors! Carol
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Phillip! I need to get me "Sango Kaku"!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is so beautiful. Always enjoy seeing pictures of your garden during the different seasons.
ReplyDeleteI have fallen in love with 'Sango Kaku' and now have 4 in my garden, but they've got a long way to go before they'll be as full and beautiful as yours. Love 'Boskoop' - wish I had one!
ReplyDeleteMy garden is so bedraggled and leaf filled now, and with our giant oaks there are millions more (it seems) to come. Ready for spring!
How very lovely the fall color is in your garden Phillip. Our best color is also in November. I have a 'Glowing Embers' Japanese Maple from University of Georgia's breeding program. It's stunning in the fall~Way better color than 'Bloodgood' and much more sun hardy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful to see such Gorgeous Fall Colors, Phillip!!!
ReplyDeleteSo Very Beautiful as always!!

Beautiful foliage Phillip! Frost is predicted here tonight so I just ripped my last brugmansia out of the ground, cut it back and threw it in the basement for winter. Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great photos of phall! I was inspired by yours and went out to find some more color hanging on to our "hidden" japanese maples and took some pics. Thanks for the inspiration!

That 'Boskoop' maple is stunning - will have to see if it's available here. 'Bloodgood' pales by comparison.
ReplyDeleteI too have a 'Glowing Embers' in my garden. It's my first fall with it and I loved the color so I can't wait for it to get larger.
