We are well past peak color but a few smaller trees and shrubs have been providing wonderful color. The kitchen window provides a great view of the last vestiges of fall foliage.
The corner of the raised beds is my best attempt at a 4 season bed. Currently, the Fothergilla is showing off it’s yellow/copper color along with the first glimpses of the red twig dogwood. The golden evergreen will soon be more noticeable once all of the leaves fall.
The back edge has 3 Japanese maples, one of which I transplanted as a seedling the first year that we lived at this location. It is now over a decade old and is standing proudly at the bend of the grass path.
The amsonia always put on a fiery show this tome of year. Soft fronds of yellow and orange stay for a long while until truly cold temps hit. Two plants have since turned into 8+ after divisions.
