Really...it's happened to us, too - the promise of good fall color then the weather turns or something happens and it never develops or leaves go to brown instead of rich warm colors. We are lucky, we had great color this year, to be sure!

Hopefully? Do you cool off at night enough?Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-11574345174206409572019-11-17T11:20:38.983-08:002019-11-17T11:20:38.983-08:00You are lucky to have that gorgeous color on your ...You are lucky to have that gorgeous color on your Metasequoia. For the second year in a row, strange autumn weather has kept ours from coloring up or dropping the needles in its normal pattern. The Ginkgos lost their leaves in one swoop but they had barely started to turn color. Hate to not enjoy those special fall treats.Linda Brazillhttp://eachlittleworld.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-61407017298673756592019-11-14T14:25:40.771-08:002019-11-14T14:25:40.771-08:00I love the Cotoneasters and the Miscanthus.

I wonder is they'll color up as prettily in my climate, though.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-43012359381848739982019-11-14T09:01:40.060-08:002019-11-14T09:01:40.060-08:00Oooh, it's really cool.

We love it and are looking forward to watching it grow.<br /><br />I adore the cornus, too - interesting your color was cut short. We had hard frosts, but yours were undoubtedly more severe. Hedgerow's Gold, one my faves, has colored and dropped its leaves in our garden. Interesting!Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-24679601793186568042019-11-14T08:59:02.207-08:002019-11-14T08:59:02.207-08:00Hello Spiky Godmother!Hello Spiky Godmother!Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-11320687510188010862019-11-14T08:53:09.221-08:002019-11-14T08:53:09.221-08:00Beautiful photos.

Hopefully the compost I gave it this year will translate to more growth next year. I know it wants more water, too. <br />Cornus sericea is one of my favorite plants for fall. It can have such amazing colors. A lot of my fall color was cut short this year because I had harder frosts, but the Cornus sericea 'Hedgerow's Gold' still has color.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-72572343301267638572019-11-14T08:39:26.512-08:002019-11-14T08:39:26.512-08:00Hi Oscar!Hi Oscar!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.com
