rhus typhina tree (stag’s horn sumach)
We don’t get a lot of vibrant colour in the autumn months here in the west county, so this gorgeous splash of red in Penlee Memorial Garden certainly catches the eye.
If you want to join in with celebrating the colours of autumn then take part in the Festival of Leaves 2019 hosted by Dawn Miller.
There were loads of these on our estate in the UK. Gorgeous colours 🙂 🙂
They are rather spectacular.
Yay! A plant I actually know!! 😉
Sumach are so pretty in the fall. It’s hard not to love them.
Wonderful splash of colour, Jude.
Yes, there aren’t many red trees here. I suspect there won’t be many leaves left now after the gales we’ve had.
It’s a lovely tree. I’ve seen them here but didn’t know what they were. Are they the right species to harvest the berries to make sumac I wonder?
What is sumac?
It’s a middle eastern spice that’s become the “flavour of the month” here. It’s bright red, and a bit lemony in taste.
beautiful . . . . this is the side of autumn I like!
The contrast of red and green must really be something. Beautiful pictures!
