Fall Color 3

No more fall color here.
90% of the leaves have been blown off the trees and 100% of those seemed to have ended up in my yard!!

JM 'Beni Kawa'.

Boston Ivy.

Crape.

Nice shots Victor. Nice colors. Told my Dh yesterday that I thought our lilac was dead, and I was thinking about replacing it with either a Crape or a JM, and he said, why wouldn't you get another lilac? 3 times. Then he finally said it's your garden, get what you want. He'll appreciate it once he sees it.

The Boston Ivy looks great, Victor.

Personally, debilu, I love lilacs, so I'd have to side with your DH. It's amazing though, isn't it, how they (DHs) usually come around to our way of thinking, given enough time?

Victor - those shots out your window are wonderful! You have a great eye for combining textures so well...the colors are terrific!

Bebop - stunning shot of your hiking vista!!

So nice to see the beautiful color you all are still enjoying up there!!!

stunning.

Closer shot of the BI.

That would make an awesome puzzle Victor.

Thanks Anita - it would drive me crazy! Not a puzzle person. I would always hide one piece and let everyone else do the work and then put the final piece in!

How smart, Victor!

Sneaky is more like it!

'Dragon's Eye' Pine shows nicely against the bronzed up Viburnum 'Shasta'.

Blueberry and Boston Ivy. At the bottom you can see JM 'Orangeola' just starting to color up.

Cotinus 'Grace' starting.

One of her leaves.

Not a great shot of my neighbor's Serviceberry, a great plant I am always recommending. Like a Blueberry - gorgeous white scented flowers in Spring, great tasting berries in Summer and a brilliant display in Fall. What more can you ask?

Last but not least - the front of my border - beautiful leaves from my neighbor's Maple, my wonderful ground cover Ranunculus 'Buttered Popcorn' and one or two leaves of Geranium 'Rozanne'. Nice little vignette. (Did I say that?)

Victor all your shrubs seem to work hard all year for you, I'm making a list. Great color from everyone but the best has passed here too, and yet there is some green left here and there. Most leaves that were hanging on are down on the ground from the storm.

Thanks ngam. I always do lots of research before selecting plants. When you do have limited space you need to get the most bang for your buck in terms of space and season length. If I had acres I would not have to be as picky.

Oooooh, Victor - LOVE your vignette and all the other pics you posted as well. That brick wall with the blueberry and ivy is really pretty. Nice shots! I will consider the Serviceberry at our NH farm! You've sold me!

Thanks - I'll send the invoice for the Serviceberry.

No problem. I have about three cents left in my garden budget right now!! LOL

Nice view onewish, don't you wish it would stay that way all winter?

Nothing wrong with that view Onewish, very pretty on a cloudy gloomy day. :)

Lovely view and great photos, Allison! It is so nice to see that color from down here where there is no fall color!

Spectacular huge Maple just beyond my property.

Prime time around here. I pulled over to take this.

JM in the neighborhood starting to color up.

My Stewartia pseudocamellia.
