Fall Color 4

what a neat effect!

That is great!

after being housebound for a week with a cold, i ventured outside and found all manner of pretty fall foliage. this is hosta 'high society'. very pretty, you think?

and a lace leaf maple

and clematis seiboldii ' vienetta' is still blooming!

not winding down, my italian arum is just starting, watched over by my garden fairy, fiona.

and the cyclamen is also just starting; the leaves are often prettier than the flowers!

oh, the cyclamen leaves!!!

and more leaves!

this bayberry is nicely variegated

one last pic, a better one of the hosta with a still-flowering corydalis behind it.

Great shots, kudrick - welcome! Allison - cool pic!

thanks victor, yours are great too, especially the dawn redwood. it kinda looks like a palm or cycad.

Thanks - I should be adding more later today. The Dawn Redwood is dropping its needles now.

My little one hasn't dropped any yet, just starting to turn...

how pretty!

nice shots kudrick & watercan

JM 'Washi no o'.

Geranium sanguineum.

Large JM out front finally changing.

Pond.

Same JM seedling from last week. More brilliant now.

JM 'Tamukeyama'.

I like your neighbors tree onewish1, it's 'picture perfect'! kudrick's Lace Leaf is really nice, I wonder how tall it grows...hard to imagine you guys in 'Jersey got snow already, we haven't seen any on the 'Island' yet!

- and of course Victor... you're a JM factory!! ☺

Thanks, WC. Here's my Dawn Redwood today - in the middle of needle drop.

- Nice color, gives me an idea of what the golden one looks like, or IS that the golden one?

Yes - it's the golden one - another 'Ogon'.

A different view of the pond. Those structures behind are my neighbor's.

Victor, I'm impressed! I didn't know there was so much open space at Sing Sing for this much gardening - is it in the courtyard? Does the pond have a secret exit going under the barbed wire fence?

Thanks, Sue. Because I've behaved well the past few years, following the incident with the Warden's daughter, they have allowed me some space to garden and encourage my fellow inmates to join in. They have really taken to it too. A bit hard to do maintenance with the 'modified' tools they give us. When visitors come to the gardens and ask how long a particular plant will live, we often instinctively reply, '15 years to life'. Oddly, all the plants are given female names.

touche!

beautiful victor..... and the last one looks like a great spot for coffee

Nice pictures.

Welcome kudrick!

dave, thanks, good to be here.

victor, your pond is awesome!

Coincidentally, speaking of barbed wire . . . today, 11/24, in 1874 Joseph Glidden patented barbed wire!

Dawn Redwood losing its needles.

Weeping European Beech.

Physocarpus 'Coppertina'.

Gee, I wonder how he went from barbed wire to selling paint... ☺

- How many redwoods in that shot VG? ... nice

Just the one.
