Oh what a queer year it has been...
Most of our garden plants haven't known what time of year it actually is most of the time.
Lots of the #trees around us have been dropping their green leaves this week due to heat shock and a lack of moisture.
We have early #autumn #colour in quite a few of our #Japanese #Maples this year too.
This is a lovely one called Matzu Kagami and is always a reliable #scarlet #red in a cascading form.
It won't be long now before they show their #true #colours here.

Plenty of #maples are transitioning before dropping in #Melbs.
The are #FreemanMaple (#elsternwick #Australia) spotted recently from the footpath!
This time of year is magical.

We have a few Japanese #maples...and I am increasingly becoming drawn to the reticulated cultivars. These usually have brightly coloured spring foliage with nicely tinted veins throughout the leaves.
This one is called Sawa Chidori which is Japanese for Marsh Plover.
These constantly colour changing maples are certainly a talking point amongst the general indergrowth on the patio and this one in particular turns the most amazing red in October.
Very hard to miss.
Get one if you can.
#Maples are turning red during this early #autumn period in #melbourne #Australia!
What deep and delicious colours weβre seeing around the burbs at present.
Seeing this small but impressive #mapletree on an #ashburton #Australia nature strip a couple of days ago, made my heart race.
With simplicity, comes undeniable beauty.

There weren't many #cherry blossoms at the festival this year, but the #maples are gorgeous!

@GPJohnston I hate to hear about diminishing #oaks. They are so mighty. I should be more appreciative as we have many huge oaks around here. Iβve been planting sugar #maples but they are taking so so long to grow. Next week Iβll try to get one of the largest Bebb Oaks on record. Is about 20 minutes from me. #trees
And here's the summarising doodle for the final part 3 of my blogpost miniseries Big Data = No Brain? (to be fixed in the hopefully near future)

One has to love #Phylogenomics and its fully resolved trees (first pic, based on a "supermatrix" combining complete plastomes, nrDNA and up to 500 nuclear loci)
But it can be a quick spoiler to look at the data behind them
(second pic; the authors and whoever is responsible for #PeerReview didn't bother to take the old "fragment" papers for serious)

Itβs becoming colder but some trees are still looking quite autumnal here. #maples #ginkgo #persimmons
One of the closest Provincal Parks to me here is #GoldenEars Provincial Park. Nice lakes, mountain views, creeks, and #hikes - so I visit it several times a year. This is one view of some Vine #Maples (Acer circinatum) hanging over the Lower Falls Trail.

Fall color not as good as usual due to the broiling summer. Japanese maples still glowing in the rising sun. #fall #maples #gardening
