Grocery-store flowers.
Coneflower.
Dahlias.
Mise en scene shot of the dahlias and coneflowers, and some of their friends.
Do you remember, last winter, we saw some ENORMOUS tulip tree leaves? This year I've had my eye out for the tree that made the big leaves.
I think I found it. (These next two shots are the same leaf, in slightly different light. Amazing how different they are.....)
Here's the tree itself. My friendly neighborhood landscape architect saw me with the huge leaves, on the 1st. She asked if they were from a young tree, and said that young trees often have bigger leaves than matures trees.
Here's that gorgeous Japanese maple again.
So nice of people to plant things like this for all of us to enjoy!
Maple, gold against that blue sky.
The smaller leaf is about the size I think of as "normal tulip tree leaf" size. I thought it was stuck to the larger one because they were wet, but they stayed stuck as I walked (carrying them by the stem of the larger one), and they stayed stuck on the back step (and around it) for as long as I was aware of their location. Odd.
Maple. The black spots are a fungus that attacks maples in wet weather. I've read that it doesn't hurt the tree. I hope that's true.
