The hosta blooms are all finished for this year but the leaves are putting on a wonderful fading show of colour from green to yellow to brown.
A couple of yellow leaves poke up in the middle of this clump of hosta. The other leaves are starting to show some yellow spots.
Another hosta is turning yellow around the edges.
The solomon seal seems to be going yellow from the tip down to the stem.
The lily of the valley has been turning yellow and now the tips are going brown.
Another hosta has leaves that are completely yellow.
There is still beauty in the fading garden. to share with Fertilizer Friday and Garden Bloggers Bloom Day.
It's so sad to see, yet so beautiful. I'm in my glory on days like this when the ground is full of leaves - I can't even see my driveway for the maple leaves. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThere really is beauty in every season.
ReplyDeleteI know this time of year is cool, but for me I love colours of fallen leaves. Great pictures and the one of your pumpkins.

Autumn is so pretty (glorious spring here downunder) but I feel so sad when winter approaches. How do you cope with the darker days, lack of colour in the garden? I find it very hard as I love the outdoors, it's like a big extra room to have fun in.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend,

Hello Linda
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, there is definitely beauty in the garden as the flowers and leaves fade. Nice photos .

It's getting to be the cozy-up time of year and your photos are a reminder of that.
ReplyDeleteMy hostas are doing the same. It is their last goodbye to offer up a curly and crispy sendoff. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, You have captured the feel of fall perfectly. Happy Bloom Day! P. x
ReplyDeleteHostas do turn some really beautiful colors when they fade. Mine are still fresh and I am doing a post on them this coming week: hostas for fall. Happy GBBD.
ReplyDeleteMy hostas are doing the same. With their large leaves it is quite dramatic. I love your photos! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is getting to be that time in the year to clean up the garden.... still even the browning leaves have a beauty that makes it hard to begin clean up.
ReplyDeleteI see so much beauty in nature fading away....
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us your version.

The leaves on my apricot tree are doing the same thing as your hostas. I was admiring the pretty leaves of yellow and green this morning, too.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, I think so few people really appreciate how lovely Hosta's leaves are in the fall :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have such great pictures! Are you a photographer as well?
