Garden Photos from Maureen

Finding beauty through the seasons

Today we ’re visiting with Maureen Budny in North Reading , Massachusetts . Maureen is an unpaid lensman and has shared some of her photos with us before ( A lensman ’s Eye in the Garden ) . She sent in some wonderful photos from different seasons .

This is a stunningly beautiful nip of very unusualfall coloring material . The bush here is a euonymous , but I ’m not certain what species . It may be the nativeEuonymousamericanus(Zones 6–9 ) , but whatever it is , the pinkish - and - white-hot coloration is drop - numb gorgeous .

A Pyrus communis tree ( Pyruscalleryana , Zones 5–9 ) prove off its warm dusk color . This species is invasive in much of the easterly United States , so it is n’t recommended to establish it , but we can still see the beauty in the change leaves .

I get laid this unusual injection of fallenJapanese maple(Acerpalmatum , Zones 5–9 ) leaves . We often enjoy these leaves when they are brainy red and orange , but here Maureen focuses on a later microscope stage , when the leaves have fallen and faded . They are still beautiful and make intricate patterns on the ground .

In thewinterthere are still brilliant colors , but they do n’t get along from flowers .

Tommy crocus ( Crocustommasinianus , Zones 4–8 ) are always one of the first flower of spring , push up their gay purple goblets in the sunlight .

And yellowish crocus ( probablyCrocusflavus‘Yellow Mammoth ’ , Zones 3–9 ) are n’t far behind , with their piece of sunshine opening up on the ground .

I can almost smell thefragranceof this dark purple jacinth ( Hyacinthusorientalis , Zones 4–8 ) right through my computer screen .

There is nothing cherubic than the pink - and - snowy blooms of an Malus pumila tree ( Malussp . ) .

What would spring be without daffodils ( Narcissushybrid , Zones 3–8 ) ?

florescence cherries ( Prunus×yedoensis , zone 5–8 ) make cloud of tiny blossoms in the fountain that all too rapidly fade . That beautiful but brief bloom point symbolise the fleeting nature of life in Japan and the need to enjoy and lionize each beautiful moment — something Maureen does superbly with her photos .
