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
On Monday morning, snow fell and stuck on rooftops and plants for an hour or so. The weather is supposed to get very cold and soon all the trees will be bare. There are a few trees still celebrating autumn and this Acer palmatum 'Peaches and Cream' is usually the last of it's clan to give up the party. With the green of native evergreen Oxalis oregana beneath, the red and green combination is a perfect way to welcome the festive season to come.

Oh - pretty! The leaves of my Bloodgood are still hanging on, as well. But I too, have a feeling this dip in temperature will bring the end. Right now it's frosty and white outside!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, it will be sad to see the leaves go.
ReplyDeleteI'm always so amazed that some deciduous trees hang on so long here. This is a pretty seasonal combo.
ReplyDeleteGood choice! All of our pretty leaves are gone.
ReplyDeleteIf some of the trees didn't hold onto their leaves so long we'd only have to rake once. Where's the fun in that? :)
ReplyDeleteOh, if only our Japanese maples produced such color!
