I cannot resist to share with you my love for autumn season. I know this season is not loved by everyone (for obvious reasons) but here are few pictures why I love it so much
Japanese Forest Grass (Hakonechloa Macra) in its fall finery
in detail
Magnolia stellata in November.
Fruit and berries display
Firethorn is hiding our water spout with wonderful red berries in autumn
Leafless grape vines with their fruit.
Crabapple Red sentinel
Japanese maple Osakazuki still holding on its leaves….
…..while other maples are ready to rest
Colour of stems of Himalayan Balsam or Impatiens glandulifera (invasive) Standing tall way after their flowers are gone. Bees absolutely love these
Very deep green colour of Cryptomeria japonica ‘Black dragon’
Shiny dark red leaves of Leucothoe fontanesiana,
Variegated leaves of Rhododendron President Roosevelt
Climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala petiolaris) in pretty yellow.
Lots of mushrooms at this time of the year. When growing up in Europe I remember collecting mushrooms in the forest with my father . Here I do not . Although ,we joined a group of people to go mushroom hunting with a local chef and he made us a wonderful meal from our harvest. Including mushroom martini. My Canadian OH would eat those . The very popular mushrooms are big pine mushrooms which I did not find on our property but there are some patches of chanterelles. I can see these selling in the store.
These boletes in my picture are probably edible but will not try to find out.
Some of them look cute but most are not edible.
Mums are starting to bloom outside
Liked Andrews blog and happy to hear that they are “in fashion” again
Bringing some of them inside for autumn cheer
Cool fresh temperature in the morning but forecast is still pleasant for next week. Hopefully they are right.
My greenhouse at dusk…pretty daunting. We keep the grow light on most of the day as we do not have any winter sun from now on…until March.
I hope you are all also enjoying bits and pieces of your gardens and surroundings as much as I do.

I've really enjoyed the tour of your garden, such fabulous plants and colours. I'd love a pot full of your chrysanthemums; they're a mouthwatering colour. Andrew's blog and yours will kick me on to doing something about my lack.

Oh Klahanie, its not surprising you enjoy Autumn! You certainly know how to plan your planting for this time of year! Its breathtaking.

its a toss up between sring and autumn for me. its atumn at the moment just because we are in it.
love the colours you have.
the Balsam made me smile as that is one plant that my daughter is continually pulling up on the nature reserves she works on. One of our most problematic plants in the UK. I do love the flowers though.

Our weather here has been so erratic lately - with the onset of autumn and those storms churning down in the Gulf of Mexico. Impossible to predict.

Beautiful blog Klahanie ... amazing to have so much colour now. And I’m impressed that your Acer osakazuki has kept its leaves ... ours dropped its more than a week ago. Sorry to hear you’re going to lose the winter sun.

Thanks for sharing, Klahanie. Your blog just epitomises autumn, full stop! Such beautiful autumnal colour.
Just to sit and watch the world go by and enjoy Mother Nature on the bench seat in pic 1 - joyful.
The hakonechloa is lovely, we saw another one or two the week on GoY and they are so striking in autumn.
The acers are always lovely to see and the yellow leaved climbing hydrangea is a little bit special. Nice to see different fungi. We’ve a few dotted around with it being damp and foggy in the early morning and often late evening.

Klahanie, I just love your garden, the trees in the background are equally beautiful as the rest of the garden it really does have that wow factor even the shed blends in well with the surroundings, thanks for sharing.

Lovely blog.Kh. What an amazing tapestry of colour you have. I enjoyed looking at all your lovely plants, thank you.

Ah, now I understand Klahanie. Yes, I remember the big trees at the edge of your estate ... thank you for the explanation 🙂.
You have a good memory - yes I do have Acer ‘Jordan’ but it’s now dropped its leaves.

It's a very pretty season, you have so much in your garden.
Interesting to see the mushrooms ...

What gorgeous pictures. You certainly finish the growing season with spectacular colours.

That's all true Klahanie. The last storm we had was Zeta, which is the 6th letter in the Greek alphabet. Eta is swirling around in the Gulf right now; that's the 7th.

Spectacular Klahanie I love all the autumn colours when viewed like this they are as good as any summer border.
