Took a walk around (too late) this evening, and the light wasn't very good for photos - but I'll show some anyway. Maybe after the rainy/cloudy conditions blow by tomorrow I can get some better images of the fall rapscallions around the Valley.

1. Viburnum prunifolium (Blackhaw Viburnum) regaled with as many fruit as you can pack on a large shrub/small tree

2. Viburnum prunifolium closeup of the glorious fruit moving through the coloration cycle toward blue/black at maturity

3. Viburnum dentatum var. deamii - an Arrowwood Viburnum variety still holding fruit well after ripening and after birds have completely stripped most other selections

4. Ilex verticillata (Winterberry Holly) - a smattering of seedlings displaying various levels of fruit set density and foliage quality

5. Ilex verticillata 'Tiasquam' - a Winterberry Holly selection by the late Polly Hill showing exceptionally dark green foliage quality and heavy fruit set
