Color Abounds

The colors of fall have arrived in the garden. The two maples are starting to look beautiful.

The dwarf Maple in the Zen garden always turns a wonderful orange.

  

  

The dwarf Maple in the Dragon's Spine always turns a super red, which highlights its unusual shape.

 

My favorite is the "sick" little Maple in the Moon Window. From near death a few years ago, he is the prize plant every fall.

About four days later, the plants all hit their peak, the colors were spectacular.

 

Wonder Wall

In an attempt to cover up the exposed cinder block foundation along the garage wall in the stroll garden, I am going to transplant some bamboo from the area located along the see-through fence on the other side of the garden in the backyard.

After taking some cuttings, this is what remained of the mini-grove.

My plan consists of thinning out the exiting bamboo which was getting really thick, and then taking those cuttings and placing them along the garage wall.

 

I'm hoping in time they will fill in this area and help hide the unsightly foundation.

We will have to see what the spring brings.
