It's nice to compare where we are in our gardens with other locations. Our fall colours have not been as vibrant as last year and there has been so much precipitation all summer. If this continues, we'll get a whole lot of snow!Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-77517388907881404752013-10-21T20:46:35.231-04:002013-10-21T20:46:35.231-04:00Thank you Astrid.

Behind that the taller green shrubs/trees are Western Arborvitae 'Virescens'. The Weeping Blue Atlas is one of my favorite conifers in the garden. I have two of them on the property and each one takes on its own personality of a shape. :)Lee@A Guide to Northeastern Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208392136967108192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-4376589158912204132013-10-20T11:01:49.553-04:002013-10-20T11:01:49.553-04:00Thanks for stopping by my blog.

(I am wondering what that shrub is? It's very dramatic!)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-8610585622016513122013-10-19T18:53:45.371-04:002013-10-19T18:53:45.371-04:00Hi Jason.

The color contrast seems to get more intense day by day and I have gotten more enjoyment out of the Lamb' Ear than I could have imagined. It made its way into the garden when a customer long ago had offered me a small sampling. It has spread along the border to create this effect over time.Lee@A Guide to Northeastern Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208392136967108192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-70730240580357664402013-10-19T18:19:19.359-04:002013-10-19T18:19:19.359-04:00I love the astilbe/lambs' ears combination.

We have not had a freeze either but when looking down the street all the maples are changing color yet I have trees (Crape Myrtle, Magnolia and Maple) that haven't turned at all yet. I probably should have called this post "Almost Peak" but I think I remember from last year that Hurricane Sandy wiped out our "peak season". Maybe there will just have to be another post "Part II"!Lee@A Guide to Northeastern Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208392136967108192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-9212230098394010952013-10-18T23:54:28.625-04:002013-10-18T23:54:28.625-04:00Very nice Lee...

Our freeze in the next few days will probably take care of that situation. Thanks for visiting my post and commenting...
