Fall garden scenes
These are absolutely GORGEOUS gardens/pics! More, more, more...
That's a red maple.
You have a beautiful garden, Sweetbay.
Oh, how beautiful! And look at that Callicarpa! Wow! I'm overusing exclamation points here, but you deserve it!
Sweet B
What is that spray of purple/blue to the far right ? Is that Muhlenbergia filipes? Is it a grass?
Yes, that's Muhlenbergia filipes, an evergreen grass.
its beautiful
and you're in Smithfield, so I know I can grow it. I have a small area in back that I want to fill in with grasses. I saw a grass today....it was unbelievable in the sun. Thick --like a bottlebrush and bright bright yellow/gold. Any idea of its name?
missingrosie, the bottlebrush grass sounds like a Pennisetum. Does it look like this? http://www.nichegardens.com/catalog/item.php?id=1724
Shari Miss Bessie's Aster is great but she's leggy. She kind of leans every which way. lol
Beautiful pictures ardesia. I especially like the camellia.
Sweet B - no doesn't look like that. It doesn't have the think green blades coming up. If you took the shape of the bottle brush flower --- fattened it up and lengthened it.... it starts from the place it emerges from the ground ---and continues right on to the tip. Then painted it bright bright yellow/gold. That would be it. I am going to try to get a photo tomorrow on the way to work. Hope the sun is up and bright. Its shape is like your Muhlenbergia filipes but thicker 'brush' and of course the color is different.
