So let’s see, last week I waxed poetically about my “Fall Blooming Season” which of course had nothing to do with flowers but rather fall foliage and I promised to give you some suggestions this week of actual plants you could incorporate into your garden that would give you some fall interest beyond what you can get from flowers.

I was walking through a wholesaler just the other day admiring some of the fall color that was coming on and it finally struck me what it is about shrubs turning color in the fall that I find so exciting.

Let’s see. Last week is was extolling the virtues of our wonderful Indian Summer and how these warm sunny days were extending the growing season for us. As you were reading you must have thought I had lost my mind considering that in fact our Indian Summer seems to have vanished now that fall is officially here. But you need to remember that these columns are written the week before they are published and at the time I was pondering my subject matter it was indeed glorious outside. What a difference a week makes.
