Japanese Maples Fall Color
'Skeeter's Broom' is the most colorful maple in our garden. I have just returned from a 2-week trip to Japan. This was my first ever trip outside the United States. It was an amazing experience and one I will never forget. Japan was wonderful - they really have their act together and I think the U.S. could learn a few things from them. There was one disappointment on the trip - the fall color had barely begun there and was really just beginning as we left. That is okay because the gardens were still spectacular, and I got a nice shot of fall color when I got back. 'Ryusen' I missed a few things - our ginkgo had just turned a glorious color the day before I left, and the leaves were gone by the time I got back. 'Sango-Kaku' I came home to many leaves on the ground but still a lot on the trees. 'Osakazuki', a beautiful red maple always changed color very late and therefore doesn't usually last long. When I left there was no color but a few remaini
Wow, it is so lush and colorful. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got much-needed rain, but I do hate when it hits on Saturday! That’s work day, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious, Phillip! Your garden looks lush. Our rainy season is effectively over, although there's a slight chance of rain tonight but the forecast is 0.01/inch :(
ReplyDeleteOh so lovely. Still waiting and hoping on a few things here. Yours look grand. Cheers, Phillip.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks so lush for all that rain Philip. I understand the disappointment of not being able to get outside comfortably to do work in the garden.
ReplyDeleteWow, Phillip! Your garden is beautiful, I agree with all the others calling it lush. Magic rain and all your work. I love the pic with the grass path, how gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous! Rain is magic.
