The last leaves
Autumn colours
Every year, at the end of summer, the marvellous discolouration of the leaves.
In particular, the Japanese Acer palmatum shows a spectacular transformation from deep summers, green to bright orange and red tones during this period.
Ginko biloba
The Chinese Ginko is the oldest deciduous deciduous on Earth. This living fossil is the evolutionary transition from conifer to deciduous plants. It is actually a coniferous tree whose needles are glued to a leaf and that is still visible in the fine stripes from the petiole to the leaf end.
Here we see the delicate discolouration from light green to the later deep yellow just before the tree releases it.
