Big Red

I found these beautiful red bushes glowing in their fall mantle.

I don’t know what kind of bushes they are, but like most things in life, they’re just passing through, gifting us with their colour before they’re gone.

Happy Fall.

  3. I recently visited a Japanese Garden and saw a few similar bushes. A lady who worked there said it was a burning bush, but I don’t think it’s the official name. They certainly do look like a burning bush though. Gorgeous.

    1. It’s such a great time of year. 🙂 My home in the Okanagan has the most beautifully colourful fall. Here, autumn is very short. This morning there was a little snow on the ground – just a sprinkle – but the wind was nasty. Our first real signal of the cold to come.

  8. My bet is with the person who suggested Burning Bush — it’s a kind of euonymus that has plain green leaves all summer, spectacular burning-red colour in fall and shows off its corky trunk & branches in winter after the leaves drop. It tends to keep a very neat shape all on its own. I had one of these while still living in Toronto, which is why I know a little about its yearly cycle.
