Ah....those leaves!!!!
Kristl Walek:
My area of eastern Canada is notorious for its spectacular fall colours of the Maples---this is still to come.
However, I wanted to share with you the visual feast in the woods today while collecting seed of the little known native Viburnum lantanoides (alnifolium)---the AlderLeaf Viburnum---or Hobblebush.
The beautiful large (up to 30cm across) opposite heart-shaped leaves have sunken veins and seem oddly out of place on the slender stems, making them very pronounced. And the vivid (and early) color transformation is astounding. I never cease being astounded at what I see in a large population.
The first is the green base colour.
It makes my heart stop!

Kristl Walek:
Sigh, it appears that my first set of pictures did not upload.
Sorry. Will try again. Did not entirely understand the KB limit per post---perhaps this is my problem?

Kristl Walek:

Kristl Walek:
Last Two...
Carlo:

Really nice Kristl...I'll have to track this down!
