Six on Saturday 10-10-26

Autumn colours are in full swing now, and we have not had too many storms yet. I thought I would share some of that colour with you for #SixOnSaturday

Amalancia is first this week. A lovely large shrub that I like to look at about 10 months of year, including this one….small leaves, but a wash of interesting green-to-red is going on here.

Next, before the frosts come, ferns are still standing tall. And this one is covered in tiny spores.

Continus sometimes looses its leaves before the colour shines out….this year there is a wonderful display. I’ve picked some of the branches for an indoor vase too.

More seed heads now, this time larger, making the leaves of the spirea sparkle.

Boston ivy will soon be scarlet, I like this phase, where each leaf has a full range of colours.

Last up this week, this fig tree sits against a south facing wall and gave us probably the best crop we have ever had. Now it will hold its leaves until the plant is touched by frost.

There we are, full on autumn without storms gives really wonderful colour in Scotland.
