Blooming their ever-loving hearts out, vibrant before the first frost!

Oh, how I adore the color of this triumphant vine!

The gardeners at Denver’s Washington Park really know a thing or two about horticultural drama, whether it’s the height of a plant, the color, the texture, the scent, whatever. This red blossom is no exception to the rule.

I was unfamiliar with this plant, so I looked it up on my trusty phone app, PlantNet. It turns out this is the castor oil plant. Who knew?!

I can’t give credit, I found the image on Facebook. It’s why I’m still on that website almost daily. You never know what wonders you might stumble across!

Their language has a dedicated noun to describe the kind of sunlight that filters through tree leaves. That moves me.

Fall is coming.

I think so.
