beauty of Autumn

Vancouver is beautiful in Autumn. Loved your blog Klahanie.

Thank you Bathgate. I wish we would have your temperatures right now. I just checked and you and our English friends will have it warmer then us for awhile.
Thanks again and keep safe.

What gorgeous photos, K..
especially like the Hak macra grass...we have it here,but not as large as yours...
Aren't the Leucothoes spectacular at this time of year..that intense,dark foliage.

I've really enjoyed the tour of your garden, such fabulous plants and colours. I'd love a pot full of your chrysanthemums; they're a mouthwatering colour. Andrew's blog and yours will kick me on to doing something about my lack.

Oh Klahanie, its not surprising you enjoy Autumn! You certainly know how to plan your planting for this time of year! Its breathtaking.

its a toss up between sring and autumn for me. its atumn at the moment just because we are in it.
love the colours you have.
the Balsam made me smile as that is one plant that my daughter is continually pulling up on the nature reserves she works on. One of our most problematic plants in the UK. I do love the flowers though.

Gorgeous photos Klahanie , my son would love mushroom hunting there he belongs to a club ' Up North ' , I'm tempted to join one but haven't come across many shrooms here there's not the forest areas around us ...

Thank you Meadowland, I do love that Hakonechloa . It obviously likes it where planted. I have another one in a pot which is not as massive but also lovely.
-------------------------
Anget, I think chrysanthemums are lovely plants, especially if they are left to grow on their own. The overstaffed pots selling in supermarkets here look unnatural and not exactly attractive. Their cuttings root very easily for me. Thank you for enjoying my garden.

Yorkslass Thank you for your compliment.

SBG,I agree.... the Himalayan Balsam is extremely invasive . I pull lots of them out too. The ones in my picture are in an area where it seeds among the other weeds and ivy. I leave it for bees. Some others I brake before it seeds. They have very shallow roots and pull out easily.
I am like you ...I live for spring and autumn in the garden.

Amy, Is that your son who sent you a package to grow your own mushrooms? Clever son.
Glad you liked my photos.

Our weather here has been so erratic lately - with the onset of autumn and those storms churning down in the Gulf of Mexico. Impossible to predict.

Beautiful blog Klahanie ... amazing to have so much colour now. And I’m impressed that your Acer osakazuki has kept its leaves ... ours dropped its more than a week ago. Sorry to hear you’re going to lose the winter sun.

Thanks for sharing, Klahanie. Your blog just epitomises autumn, full stop! Such beautiful autumnal colour.
Just to sit and watch the world go by and enjoy Mother Nature on the bench seat in pic 1 - joyful.
The hakonechloa is lovely, we saw another one or two the week on GoY and they are so striking in autumn.
The acers are always lovely to see and the yellow leaved climbing hydrangea is a little bit special. Nice to see different fungi. We’ve a few dotted around with it being damp and foggy in the early morning and often late evening.

Bathgate, It has been busy and record braking hurricane season this year :-( I read that they had to use the Greek letter for storm naming system. Not enough letters in our alphabet . Officially it should end Nov.30th but as you say it is very unpredictable. I hope it ends before that.
-------------------------------------
Thank you Sheila. Yes my Osakazuki is still in leaf. I have another maple called Osakazuki aureum (the label said) which turns yellow and it also did not lose any leaves yet. Also "Jordan" is full of colourful leaves...which I think you also have.
As you know we have lots of tall trees on the south side and the sun hides behind them in winter. We can see lots of sun on the other island across the channel. There is also lots of sun on top of our property where our guest house is so not all is lost ....just down here sadness sneaks in.

Thank you Kate for your lovely comment.

Klahanie, I just love your garden, the trees in the background are equally beautiful as the rest of the garden it really does have that wow factor even the shed blends in well with the surroundings, thanks for sharing.

Yes Klahanie that's the same son :o)

Thank you Julien for your kind words.

Amy, I thought so and thanks for verifying :-)

Lovely blog.Kh. What an amazing tapestry of colour you have. I enjoyed looking at all your lovely plants, thank you.

Ah, now I understand Klahanie. Yes, I remember the big trees at the edge of your estate ... thank you for the explanation 🙂.

You have a good memory - yes I do have Acer ‘Jordan’ but it’s now dropped its leaves.

I appreciate your kind remark Feverfew.
-------------------------------------

Thank you Sheila. Now we both can look forward to see Acer Jordan's fresh lime coloured leaves in early spring.

It's a very pretty season, you have so much in your garden.
Interesting to see the mushrooms ...

What gorgeous pictures. You certainly finish the growing season with spectacular colours.

That's all true Klahanie. The last storm we had was Zeta, which is the 6th letter in the Greek alphabet. Eta is swirling around in the Gulf right now; that's the 7th.

Thank you for visiting my garden in the woods Hywel. Unfortunately colours are slowly disappearing.

Thank you Siris for your compliment on my pictures.

Bathgate , fingers crossed that it is a last one in this season.

Spectacular Klahanie I love all the autumn colours when viewed like this they are as good as any summer border.

Thanks Stroller for your comment :-)
