Oh how quickly time does slip away.

Things are changing.
Seasons ending.
Some just beginning. My winter Heather is budding up.
And even starting to bloom.

A little early, but Ill take it!
The Echineachia is starting to look festive. I'm not going to cut them back. Not only will they be spooky for Halloween, but they feed the birds through winter.
This little specimen is a Coral Bark Maple. Ive been drooling over the prospects of buying one for a while. The bark stays that wonderful fuchsia colour all year round. The leaves, green through summer, turn enchanting colours through the fall.

Walking past a booth at the Tree Festival a couple of weeks ago I spotted it, got it, and saved myself a load of cash. $2 deals are my favorite, as are local plant sales. I'd much rather grow and shape the tree myself.

I lucked out for sure.

I have the perfect spot for it.

My hollowed out stump, will help grow a new tree.

I like the quirkiness of it.My Japanese Maple is growing. This one started out as a small 2 $ special as well. And has proved its value ten fold. They certainly grow fast.Towering above the Noir Hollyhock is still stunning.

I recently found an off spring in another area of the garden. Its been relocated beside its maker.Things are changing so quickly now. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
