Fabulous colours! What a shame that many of them only last for a few days. I think you’ve done a great job with arranging your plants to give some stunning contrasts.
Thank you Mark! Perversely I rather love the fact that it is all so fleeting. I literally woke up one morning last week to see that the acer had turned into a ball of flame, but in a few days all the leaves will be gone.
Janet, your photos are wonderful. I love the close ups on the fall foliage. I scrolled through a few of your posts. I will have to put you on my list of blogs to follow. Thanks for visiting my Queen of Seaford blog.

Hi Janet – how rare to find another one! Thank you for popping over, and for adding me to your blogroll – I shall return the favour!
Nice! The seed heads add so much interest to the garden. I like that maple too!
Hi Dave, I think the Maple is my favourite too.
One Trackback
[...] Janet at Plantalicous is Celebrating Autumn for another Fall Color Project Post! (Anyone is welcome to do multiple posts – especially if you can’t fit all that gorgeous foliage into one!) Ornamental grass tassels, coneflower seed heads, and many other fall features add color and interest the garden this time of year. [...]
