Fall in the garden

Spiders are everywhere! I have to remember they are beneficial, especially when I'm walking into webs, and getting the occasional bite.

The double-file viburnum are changing to a lovely burgundy color. And they have a small second bloom. The white flowers really contrast with the dark leaves.

The bright golden-chartreuse of Ginkgo biloba "Mariken" (dwarf ginkgo) provide a bright pop of color.

The Beautyberry is giving a hint of the spectacular purple berries that will stand out when the leaves drop. In the meantime, the leaf color is nice. I have three plants, but they are still small. They will grow to about 6 feet.

Here is a photo of John taking out the Scarlet runner bean plants. The hummingbirds are still finding plenty in the garden, with the hardy fuchsias and salvias.
