Autumn Vibes
Eupatorium rugosum 'Chocolate' (Snakeroot) with Hydrangea 'Snow Queen' I love autumn - the crisp, cooler temperatures, the rain, and most of all, the fall colors. The year looks to be a nice one. I got back from a trip to Alabama last week and found that the colors were in full swing (unlike Alabama, where the temperatures were lovely with the exception of some mugginess but alas, no color at all). Japanese Maples are the first thing I think of when autumn comes to mind. This one is 'Bihou' and one of the first to change color. Acer palmatum 'Bihou' Other trees are beginning to change as well, including the Redbud 'Flame Thrower'. 'Flame Thrower' Redbud ( Cercis canadensis ) The star of the show now, however, is the Stewartia. It is just amazing and I remember it was beautiful last year as well.

I may need to aquire that Anemone nemerosa ! Anemones are one of those bulbs I often forget about but so so easy-I need to correct this !

Your southern roots are showing with that Camillia. I like them too. They look like roses when blooming to me. That Spirea is a beauty too. Happy GBBD.
Oh, I'm with Kathy - that Anemone is a stunner! I have a couple of white ones, but that blue is on par with the Hepaticas I have. So very lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour Anemone makes me want to ditch my anemone bland for that blue.

Athat Anemones is gorgeous. I am very, very envious of that Clematis too. I hope you do indeed get some sun and warmer temperatures. Please feel free to redirect any rain this way.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful array! I saw that blue anemone at a greenhouse a couple of weeks ago and was just stunned. It is so lovely. I am planning to add some to my garden.
ReplyDeleteYou have some beautiful flowers despite it still being winter. As everyone else said, stunning blue Anemone. 'Nuccio's Bella Rossa' has the most perfect symmetrical flowers. Sadly, mine did not survive. Always tempted to try another.
