Japanese Maples Fall Color
'Skeeter's Broom' is the most colorful maple in our garden. I have just returned from a 2-week trip to Japan. This was my first ever trip outside the United States. It was an amazing experience and one I will never forget. Japan was wonderful - they really have their act together and I think the U.S. could learn a few things from them. There was one disappointment on the trip - the fall color had barely begun there and was really just beginning as we left. That is okay because the gardens were still spectacular, and I got a nice shot of fall color when I got back. 'Ryusen' I missed a few things - our ginkgo had just turned a glorious color the day before I left, and the leaves were gone by the time I got back. 'Sango-Kaku' I came home to many leaves on the ground but still a lot on the trees. 'Osakazuki', a beautiful red maple always changed color very late and therefore doesn't usually last long. When I left there was no color but a few remaini
This is great. Having cataract surgery next week, so will miss it. Mary
ReplyDeleteWow wish I was there! I have not had good luck with Hydrangeas here in Texas. I live in the "piney woods" region with lots of shade so I thought I would. Might not be getting the right ones. Have a great weekend! Carol
ReplyDeleteI hosted my own hydrangea give away when I pulled mine because they were getting fried from reflected light. I wish I had room for a few of those freebies. :o)
