Still, there is beauty to be seen if one looks hard enough. <em>Layanee, I wonder if the color we have here just seems more brilliant compared to last year when we had none... Maybe you should take a ride down to compare! -kris</em> The colors are muted here this year. Still, there is beauty to be seen if one looks hard enough.

We don't have amsonia, but the Solomon's seal and the melting hostas are butterscotchy. And there's still lots of green to set off those colours. <em>Debby, your garden sounds beautiful - I love the description of your Japanese maple! -kris</em> Out here in our Vancouver, BC, garden, our sunburst honey locust is coloring nicely (orange-juice yellow), our Japanese maple is looking like Ronald McDonald’s wig, and the Euonymous alata is adding a pop of red red!

The glistening gold fall foliage of Amsonia hubrictii stopped me in my tacks yesterday. I had to stop what i was doing and run for the camera. It always looks good, but right now is when it outshines everything else. By the way, I love the image of the gold inlaid well cover with the Cornus(?) in the distance. Rich! <em>Kathy, Thank you - and it is a dogwood in the distance. I am loving the amsonia now too but a bright golden Indigofera stopped me in my tracks the other day (I'll have to post that pic next time...) -kris</em> Some plants are coloring up better than others.
