Three cherry trees in the center have already lost their all leaves. Those of the left tree have been changing colors. The best time of autumn leaves is coming near day by day. 樹木葉子變黃變紅； 櫻樹已經落葉。
Now you can enjoy chrysanthemum flowers. This type of growing method is called "three branch standing". Growers pinch the top in the spring and raise three branches. They make efforts to grow the two of the three to the same height, the one higher and make all flowers as big as possible. The flowers in this photo are 130 to 150 cm high.

This flower has 25cm diameter. I don't know how to grow chrysanthemum flowers excellent. It takes six months from top- pinching to full-flowering.
Walking in the forest park, I found lovely ruby berries shining under the noon sun. This shrub is Cornus officinalis, the Japanese cornel. The berries have been utilized for nourishing tonic medicine. 山茱萸的核果
Beautiful photos of nature, it is amazing how so many colors come to show us their beauty, its sad when they drop their leaves.
ReplyDeleteChrysanthemums are beautiful so full, I have never heard of growing in threes and so tall.
My husband lived in Japan, Atsugi for a few years he loved it.

Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I've never seen that method of growing chrysanthemums -- interesting!
ReplyDeleteI did not know of this interesting method of growing chrysanthemum flowers, RTC. It seems like a lot of hard work and a lot of patience is required
ReplyDeleteHello rtc, If I were in Ohio, I could match your autumnal marvels. We call Cornus dogwoods in the U.S., and they grow all over, wild or planted as ornamentals. That reminds me of the old corny (or should I say cornus-y) joke: How can you tell a dogwood tree? By its bark!

All lovely but those chrysanthemums are especially gorgeous. So big and full!
ReplyDeleteNice fall photos. It is raining hard in Shizuoka today and more leaves are falling off the trees.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge flower! I have never seen them grown like this...would be interesting to try. Here everyone pinches them to make them have more and more flowers. Your autumn looks like ours.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing the autumn leaf colors. The chrysanthymums are lovely and tall. Thanks for sharing your time outdoors.
ReplyDeleteThe berries are a lovely colour. Have seem chrysanthemum like you describe, truly gorgeous and have seen them with massive heads.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful flowers.

ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
ReplyDeleteHere too we see fall colors develop day by day.
Those huge 25 cm diameter Chrysanthemums are pieces of art; never saw any that big in real life!
As for the Japanese Cornelian Dogwood, those berries are stunning.
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful fall colors and interesting growing methods for the chrysanthemums! I might try that next year! Hope you have a wonderful autumn. x K

Imagens incríveis! Tenho visto crisântemos, na florista, e em alguns jardins, aqui próximo... mas nenhuns com uma dimensão assim tão grande!
ReplyDeleteE também não conhecia esta bagas! Excelente partilha, como sempre!
Um grande abraço!
