Fall in a Boston Garden

Today we ’re visiting Barbara Cain ’s beautiful garden on the South Shore of Boston . We ’ve visit her garden before , so you could see how it looks in thespringandhigh summer .

Here are photo of the garden as it luxate into its autumn colouring material .

Somewhere between a large bush and a small tree , theharlequin glorybower(Clerodendrum trichotomum , Zones 7–10 ) produces fragrant white flowers in summer that are followed by these stunningly colored fruits . The leaves , if crushed , have an strange feeling that gives this plant the other vulgar name of “ peanut butter tree . ”

batrachian , toads , and other amphibious aircraft are notoriously sensitive to chemic pollution , so not only are they receive garden visitors for their riding habit of gobbling up slugs and other pests , but they are also a polarity that the garden is a welcome home ground for wildlife .

Chocolateeupatorium(Ageratinuaaltissima‘Chocolate ’ , Zones 4–8 ) has dark purplish foliage all summer and then explodes into downlike white flowers at the end of the season .

The striking hybridsalvia‘Wendy ’s Wish ’ ( Zones 9–11 or as one-year ) is loaded down with blooms beloved by hummingbirds .

Dahlias ( Dahliavariabilis , Zones 8–10 or as tender bulbs ) can blossom most of the summertime but always seem to top out right at the end .

The tiny flowers oftall verbena(Verbenabonariensis , Zones 7–11 or as an yearly ) are make in big masses all summertime long , and even where they ca n’t pull through the winter , they tend to self - seed to make out back class after year .

Staghorn shumac ( Rhustyphina , Zones 3–8 ) transformation into fall colors .

Lantana ( Lantanacamara , Zones 8–11 , but hardiness varies by cultivar ; often grown as an annual ) , loaded down with flowers , is always a hitting with butterflies and other pollinators .
