Walton Woods in October

10/9/2019

1 Comment

 
October is such a unique month. It will go from lush green to bold reds and golds to empty trees in one month flat!
Currently out at Walton Woods many leaves have fallen but everything up in the trees is still bright green. Do these fallen leaves fall green then turn brown? Do they turn one by one on the tree and fall, taking turns "there goes Joe, it's your turn to turn and fall Suz!"? "WHEEEEE" - Suz
Most everything that blooms has bloomed and is either in seed or turning. The clearweed (Pilea pumila) is finishing its bloom with a ghostly clear/yellow coloring (see in the photos below), and the White Baneberry (Actaea pachypoda) still has a few doll-eye-like fruits. 
The fungi, however, is having a wonderful time, especially after that rain we had. 
Notably the burning bush (Euonymus alatus) here has overgrown so much that it no longer turns red, just a weird yellow-green-white (similar to the clearweed).

Hi Emily. I read through your amazing blog, but did not see anything helpful, and wanted to know - are you aware of any willow trees near Akron (or Cleveland, or between them?) Doesn't have to be weeping willow specifically, just regular willow with rounded leaves is fine.

(Apologies for putting this in a comment, I had no other way to reach you! Hoping you would be kind enough to reply and then simply delete this. My own email should be visible to you.)
