Fall color is past peak but there is still a lot of nice fall color to enjoy. By the end of the week, however, most leaves will be on the ground. Be sure and come to enjoy the color early in the week. There are also other treasures to be seen. It is rare to see a shrub just comes into full flower this time of year but that is what the common witch-hazel does. Its light lemon-yellow flowers can be enjoyed in several locations. The fruit on the heavenly bamboo is also noteworthy.
