I have intended to get out in the garden and get my paws dirty within the last week or so but I can't bring myself to do it right now. The onset of Fall and the fantastic coloring that goes along with it have me just staring in awe. All of the reds/oranges and golds contrast so well against the greens that are still holding true. It is such a fleeting moment in time and I want to soak it all in before it disappears in the blink of an eye. So please excuse the excess of fall foliage photos that I'll be putting out there over the next few days.
My front bed has a great mix of all colors right now. I even enjoy the spent coneflower blooms and the few Catmint blooms that have held on for weeks now:
My entire property is blanketed by wild Goldenrod (just ask my allergy-filled wife) and they look fantastic along with the yellowing leaves on the trees:
At the back of the property, the coloring looks like rainbow sherbet and I have to admit I have no idea what is decaying perennials are providing such phenomenal color:
I love Amsonia and its phases of Fall color that start in late Summer and continue into October:
Incredible leaf color on the Hypericum 'Albury Purple' right now:
The Panicum (Switch grasses) are fading now but still look so damn good:
Sick of me displaying pics of Miscanthus purpurascens (Flame grass) yet?
The fading blooms of Hydrangea 'Little Lime' are almost better now than when they are in their "prime":
