Colors in the Garden as Summer Ends

 


Leaves are starting to color up and drop.  Autumn is on its way here in New Hampshire.


Here are the colors in the garden beds as the season changes.

[Somehow they reverted to red except one.]







What is still blooming in your yard?

Leaves are dropping here, too. It seems a little early but no doubt is partly due to stress.

Your garden is still doing well. We’ve just had our last daylily, and I see that the Mums have arrived at the grocery stores.

We saw a tree fully turned yesterday. Only a very few leaves here.
Your gardens look lovely

Coming from the tropics where things are either vivid and colorful or dried due to no rain or flooded out, I love the way flowers and trees change in the western hemisphere.

Still a bit of summer to go here, further south. Not ready to toss foliage yet, while everything's still flowering, though some leaves are dropping and the squirrels are chowing down on acorns.

Your late summer yard is beautiful.

You have so many blooms! I love the pink-tinged hydrangea. My main blooms are from a hardy Begonia that spreads and returns every year.
