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
Happy 4th of July Phillip. Your red white and blue choices are perfect for a patriotic theme. I love the way the nicotiana is flirting with Pan peeking over his shoulder.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you did this. It took five hours to appear on my blog list. We need to celebrate the good things today. Blue was the hardest color for me to find, mostly found in the sky color (didn't post it.)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty: your flowers are worth celebrating.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful! Love that you shade blue flowers to add to this post. They are hard to find.
