This is a picture I shot today of a Cornus alba ‘Elegantissima’(variegated red twig dogwood) leaf from our garden:
Fall is definitely here. I’m amazed at how closely this digital file resembles the actual leaf. It almost looks like the leaf was flatbed scanned. It wasn’t. The colors are true(at least on my monitor!) and this is a plant that I don’t usually expect to have interesting Fall color. Let’s hope winter arrives soon and that the snowpack is deep and lasts a long time!
