| My Isabella Sprunt had a pretty bloom. It came from Chamblee's and is in a 5G pot now. It is small and dense so far. Almost all my potted roses are mildewy now, not sure why.
Some roses in the back
Condesa de Sastago. We decided to turn the farthest and dingiest corner of the back yard into a "tropical corner" with a tibouchina and Mexican sage. I think Condesa fits very well there.
Every year I plan to take a special trip to take some pictures of fall foliage, and I can never find the time:-(. So here are some pictures I took in my neighborhood. We don't have those spectacular maples that people up North enjoy, but pistacchio trees make up for it very well. They turn multiple colors from pink to red to yellow to orange and there are lots of them around here.

| Your photography always pull me out of "lurking" around the GW forums. I love the idea of a "tropical" corner. I have many pastels amongst my garden so your idea is very inspirational. May I ask the name of the lavender rose in your second photo? As always, thank you for sharing. Audrey |

| Who needs maple trees when you have these spectacular pistacchio trees. I'm so glad you posted the name of the tree. Lovely fotos. Inga |
|
| Thank you, Audrey and Inga! Audrey, the lavender rose is Angel Face. Masha |

| Very beautiful, Masha. Strangely, I've been trying to think of some pale yellow roses for the last few days and you come along with a really beautiful one that I'd forgotten about. I've begun to realize that my roses seem to be mostly pink, purple and white and I thought a pale yellow would be good for contrast and added interest. Thanks a lot! Ingrid |
|
| Thank you, Ingrid, and I am glad to have been of help:-). Is Etoile de Lyon not pale enough? What about Amazone? Then, of course, there is Marechal Niel... |
|
| Masha, Your roses are beautiful but, what really surprises me is the fall foliage. I didn't know Autumn was so pretty and colorful there. Thank you for the pictures, Kitty |
|
| Oh so pretty Masha! I have to find a pistachio tree. Several were planted in the Mississippi State Univ. trial gardens here in search of a good ornamental tree. They did very well. |

| Thank you, Kitty and oldblush. Pistacchio trees are great in the fall, but here they are pretty brittle and prone to dieback - not severely, obviously, but enough to require consistent maintenance to look good. Masha |

| Masha, beautiful photos as always! Last year I noticed more mildew on my potted roses than on my roses in the ground (which also still had plenty of it, too). This year all roses in pots or in the ground are relatively clean of mildew. Go figure... Isabella Sprunt looks like a very nice pale yellow rose. I really do like her. The color combination of Condesa de Sastago with the Mexican sage and the Tibuchina in the background is so outstanding! I really admire your sense of color! The autumn pics of the trees are very pretty make me miss the Bay Area quite a bit. Maybe I have to visit soon, again :-)! Thanks for posting! Christina |

| Masha, I was so pleasantly distracted by the pistacchio tree photos that I couldn't concentrate on the roses! Very, very beautiful trees you have in your neighborhood. Thank you for posting them. I wonder if they are the same trees as what's grown here? People call them "Chinese Pistacchio" here. Do you think they are one and the same? I look forward to seeing them every fall & they are just now beginning to turn colors here. Randy |
