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
That last one looks like the roses we used to make out of crepe paper. All very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh yum yum yum, it's rose season again! I am waiting for the very first bloom of the season to open! I love all of yours, but I think 'Sweet Chariot' is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteWow, these roses are gorgeous! My roses are just starting, so I hope for some beauties. I'm fighting Rose Rosette disease her, and I'm afraid they will all succumb eventually. Wouldn't that be awful?
ReplyDeleteRobin, yes it would! I had a few roses get it a few years ago. Fortunately it did not spread. As soon as you see it, get rid of the rose!
DeleteReally pretty! I love the color of Buff Beauty. By the way, regarding your comment on my recent post, some of my mop heads are not blooming well, either. I do believe it was the harsh winter - two years in a row - that may be the culprit.
