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
A whole lot of this going on here. Does your green man have to come in out of the frost to stay intact?
ReplyDeleteLisa, I've never brought him in and he has been fine. I've had him for a long time.
ReplyDeleteLovely Phillip!

Hi Phillip, the garden is going to rest and I always feel a little sad. But there's always next year! Thanks for your lovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteBoth garden and gardener need to rest and rejuvenate so I'm not to sad to see winter rolls in. I love the bird bath: it looks like the water in it has frozen!
