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 the kind of fireworks I like in the garden. I remember how wonderful they smell and how horrible they can stain a white shirt.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I agree with comment above about the fireworks.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your lilies! Our deer may like our lilies more than our hostas -- there were buds on them 2 days and ago and now they are nibbled to stems only. Oh well, at least we can rejoice in yours. Best to you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! And is that a bee in the corner of the picture? I don't think I've ever seen a bee visit a lily. Maybe it just landed there for a rest? :)
ReplyDeleteI have a few of these and I love to bring them inside as cut flowers. They smell wonderful! Yours are great. Any takers on your home yet? Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGah! It's so pretty! I keep saying that I need to plant a few lilies, and this really convinced me. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove these lilies...yours are gorgeous!
