Is that the maple that was previously hidden to you by the pine trees? What a shame to miss that wonderful display of autumn colour. Are they hostas with the yellow leaves in a lower photo? If so, I hadn't realised that they changed colour, but then, I've never grown them either. I really like them but I don't think I have anywhere cool, shady and damp enough for them yet. Lovely photos.
I think the coloring varies from hosta to hosta and also on how mellow your autumn is. I have hostas but they rarely get that mellow golden color. Often our first freeze is quite hard and they go from green to mush.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

ReplyDeleteYes, to both questions, Alice. I am quite happy to see the old Maple tree this year.
ReplyDeleteAh I miss the Maple trees, we don't have a lot of them here.

ReplyDeleteMy husband is big on rocks and moss. He'd be drooling over this last picture.
ReplyDeleteSylvana, I love the mossy rocks, too. I am always excited when I see it appearing on a new rock.
