France: The autumn garden

These photos need no comment. I took them to remind myself of the colours of October, because when we next come it will all be bare branches.

Berberis

Spiraea
                                    Redbud

 Red oak - tiny tree, big leaves

                                                  Flowering cherry

From the top of the garden, with Rosie

                                                       
                                                        The dogwoods, looking tidier without rampant ferns and brambles

       

                                                                Claret ash

                                                       Peach

 Two deciduous azaleas (my favourite)

 Purple cotinus, scarlet willow, yellow dogwood, and some fabulous fungi.
