November 7, 2021 – Fall Peak Color at Devotion

I confess that the arrival of DEVOTION: Diary of an Appalachian Garden has kept me so very busy with less time in the garden than usual, but reconnecting with people following the long isolation of the pandemic is feeling so right, especially after getting my booster shot.

So here is a look at peak fall color at Devotion:

Fothergilla ‘Blue Shadow’ provides incredible red/orange fall color while the bottlebrush buckeye glow with golden light.

Japanese maple ‘Trompenburg’ The burgundy red leaves accent the sculpture ‘Colour Continuum’ and the golden leaves of Carolina allspice in the background.

Japanese maple ‘Seiryu’ highlighted by the rhododendron maximum.

Magnolia macrophylla, ‘Big leaf magnolia’

Now I switch gears mentally as I head to The Gardener’s Cottage, Biltmore Village, Asheville, NC for my first book signing…pure bliss.
