Stunning fall colors have emerged at the Morton Arboretum

|
Gina Tedesco of the Morton Arboretum e-mails with some beautiful photos of the breathtakingly beautiful fall colors which have emerged there. She tells us:

"Well, it's once again time for the annual fall color show here: we've got trees from 40 countries, native to such far-flung destinations as Azerbaijan, Russia, China, and Iran, along with European countries.
 
As is traditionally the case, sumacs are turning first. Here now is a "shining sumac"..."
 
As always, Gina---THANKS for the heads up on the arrival of fall colors and for the beautiful photos!
