A Pleasant Surprise......

"The leaves fall, the wind blows, and

the farm country slowly changes from the

summer cottons into its winter wools."

This particular tall and slender

Nandina plant is

located in an inconspicuous

location in our tropical garden.

We hadn't noticed what

was taking place,

until today, when the

Mister was working

on our sprinkler system.

"Come look, and

bring your camera," he said.

Now, we have quite a few of

these planted around the

garden, but none of the

others have beautiful

red and golden leaves.
Pause....
For those of you living in
northern states...really
living with beautiful fall
foliage, you are by now wondering
"what's all the fuss?" Please keep
in mind, I live on
the west coast of Florida,
where "fall spectacular"
just never happens.

This sweet ole transformation of the Nandina
is a rarity and as you have noticed,
a most  pleasant surprise.

Hmmm..... takes so little to bring a smile to my heart.
