Some Yellow, Some Green, A Little Wine Red

Cloudy, a little rain, some brief sun.  In the 50s.  Rain expected tomorrow.

Another update on fall color: the river birches have turned a lovely yellow, except for the one that is at the front of the berm.  It's still totally green.  

One yellow, one green!  Just a few feet apart.

I think it is due to moisture levels.  The one on the right, which grew so awesomely from an Arborday twig, is at the edge of the berm in a low spot where water puddles.  It has the most rapid growth and lushest form, and I think it colors later because of the extra moisture.  Just guessing.

The yellowroot this year is a subtle wine red.  Not as bronzy or copper colored as in previous years.
