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
Practically on fire! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! It's looking wonderfully fiery! Good shot.
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous colors! I assume it goes all green in the summertime?
ReplyDeleteThis is a yummy color. It looks so warm.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Good buy!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely specimen and I was impressed to learn that it's also lemon-scented. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that it would find my area of SoCal hospitable.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blend of colors that reminds me of an Aloe. There are some with the foliage that shade of green.
ReplyDeleteWilma got some nice things named after her.
