Fall Colors

Previous Years October Glory Maples

Fall colors this year are strangely muted. Last year looked more like the October Glory Maples shown above, with vivid strokes of red erupting across the landscape. But this year subdued instances of yellow seem to predominate. Which is to say, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall may continue their eternal cycle, but locally, plants will express the individuality of their climate and circumstances. 

Which is not to say there are not some flashes of brilliance out there. These Sioux Crape Myrtles, for instance, are showing some vigorous burgundy leaves at our Iles Farm.

As are our Autumn Blaze Maples.

And these Catawba Crape Myrtles and Sugar Maples exhibit a heartening brightness.

But others are following the typical mutedness of this season:
