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
Wasn't it a fantastic weekend? I gardened both days and got so much done. Your photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have so much more going on in your garden already Phillip but my peonies are at about the same stage. They are creeping out into the world. The anticipation is invigorating. I want to get out there and start pulling weeds. ... What did I just type??? ha... Love your bee/bug hive. The next thing we know you will have a bee hive and be selling honey.
ReplyDeleteYou capture a perfect moment perfectly!
ReplyDeleteHooray for the mason bee condo. They will be thanking you for years to come.
