The Woodbine or it’s real real name Parthenocissus inserta is coloring nicely. This vine loves to grow up the Oaks. Woodbinds send out tendrils that attach themselves into cracks in the tree bark.
The bugs that have eaten holes in the foliage make it appear quite lacy when the sky shines through. Lately it rains two days and the sun shines one.
Rain is good for the trees.
Beautiful, Connie!
ReplyDeleteI went out yesterday early to water and looked for some colorful berries to decorate with and nada! There were no little pears on my Bradford pear either...is this an off year? There a few tiny acorns falling but nothing like we usually have as far as berries and color. Yours is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat sure is pretty. Is Woodbine the same as Virginia Creeper? They look the same. Virginia Creeper has the orange trumpet flowers. We have lots of Virginia Creeper here. We are really needing rain.
ReplyDeleteWoodbine is a relative of Virginia Creeper:)
DeleteRaining again here today. But I am loving the crisp air and am so ready for fall.
ReplyDeletePretty vines. Love the colors! :)
Oh that makes me want to go for a ride in the woods and see if there are any fall colour and berries! So far it's still looking pretty green here.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had Virginia Creeper growing on an arbour but it has never had flowers ( see Henny Penny's comment) so maybe I have Boston Ivy. I always manage to confuse the two.
ReplyDeleteLooks very much like our Virginia Creeper too.
ReplyDeleteVery colorful. I also love your header collage. Thank you for your kind words on my blog. You guys have a nice Monday.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I guess your hand must be getting better. I hope so, anyway. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have seen them in the fall for years in the timber areas. I never knew the name of it before now. Some people in my life while growing up would say that it was poison ivy, but the leaves are not the right kind of leaf.
