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
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)
