Colourful leaves . . .

. . . at the end of October. I thought I’d take advantage of a few moments of sunshine, in case it didn’t last. This is the Judas tree, Cercis siliquastrum, in the front garden.
Now into the back, Field Maple
Cornus Eddie’s White Wonder
Parrotia persica, positively glowing, and luckily still only 2’ 6" !
Spiraea ‘Goldflame’
Amelanchier as a shrub (3’)
Viburnum opulus – look Lincslass, it survived :)
Loropetalum
Cotinus
Apples keep coming (more crumble tonight, lol)
Acer ‘Bloodgood’
Keep warm everyone :))

Makes us warm just looking at those fiery colours, beautiful.

Thank you Tracey, Dawn and Shirley . . . it's great that some of the leaves are hanging on for longer than usual this autumn!

Thank you Siris (we posted at the same time) - yes, there are compensations at this time of year :)

You have some great colour there Sheila, I do like the colour of the Judas, mustn't be tempted though as I really haven't got any room for another tree, my Amelanchier is completely bare of leaves now, the colour didn't last very long at all compared to other years but guess the sudden drop in temperature caused that, went from the sublime to the ridiculous but that's Mother Nature for you..I still haven't attacked my Viburnams with the loppers but only because I haven't any room in my bins, watch this space in the next couple of weeks though....

Autumn is so beautiful and the colours in your garden are just brilliant. No need for a bonfire or fireworks where you are! So lovely Sheila.

That's a lovely comment, Chris, thank you!

A spectacular show Sheila. You have all the best trees. I envy your apple tree. I love them sliced up in my oatmeal with brown sugar.

Thanks Paul - that sounds yummy :)

Yes, very wholesome too.

Wonderful collection of Autumn colours. Certainly as nice as summer flowers. Aren't we lucky to get both in the areas in which we live? I wouldn't want to live in a treeless zone, in a wind swept island for eg.

Thank you Feverfew - and I agree, we are very lucky with our temperate climate with such varied flora :)

You have a lovely variations of October colours, Sheila.
Fall can be so beautiful. Looking forward to your viburnum pictures.

Ummm . . . a great many leaves have fallen now, Terra, they've been coming down like rain! (. . but it was great while they lasted)
