Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Wednesday Vignette
My vignette this week comes from Todd's Nursery. A staghorn sumac admiring it's reflection in the water.
Wednesday vignette is hosted by Anna at Flutter and Hum. Click on over there to see her Vignette and links to those of others.
This is a good sumac year. There are so many around the meadows, deer can't keep up with eating them. Sumac is one of our rare red colors for fall, prettier than Sassafras or poison ivy. What? I take my color where it grows..
I still can't believe a nursery has such a large body of water in it. A nice change. Love that second photo btw!

ReplyDeleteIt's great to see such a large 'lake' in a nursery - so refreshing! The reflection of the sumac is really lovely
ReplyDeleteStaghorn sumac is fall incarnate.
ReplyDeleteNice capture! The Sumacs are incredibly vibrant here now, too. When the sun captures them just right, the effect is pretty dramatic.
ReplyDeleteThat sumac is rightfully admiring itself.
ReplyDeleteWater reflections double the enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteMore like a park than a nursery. I don't think I've seen a Sumac plant, although I use the powdered berries in cooking.

ReplyDeleteIn my next garden, I will have a large drift of Sumac. Can't beat that fall color! Nice vignette! :)
