Fall colours

Stunning!

Bon voyage :-) all the colours I love.

Picturesque!

Thank you all for nice comments and for liking.

That is beautiful, I love the scenery in Canada!

Thank you Rkwright, This part of Canada is specifically beautiful and ...no snow! Lots of rain in winter though.

I've been in parts of Canada but never to Vancouver. I have really only been to Ontario because it is so close to Michigan. I know how beautiful Oregon and Washington are so I imagine Vancouver Island is very similar since it is so close. It must be warmer because of the Pacific Ocean then right?

You are right Rkwright. Pacific Ocean moderates the temperatures. We do not freeze in the winter but we also have cooler summers than interior British Columbia.
Ontario must be pretty in the fall with all these deciduous trees turning colours. Probably same as in Michigan?

Yes very similar, the southern part of Michigan is very flat though and it's prettier to see the colors in hills and mountains. What are the coldest temps you see over there? I bet you can grow some beautiful conifers in that kind of climate.

Yes, conifers are doing well here RK, winter night lows are somewhere between 25 -35 deg. F ....but very seldom it actually goes below freezing and the day highs are in high 40's to low 50'a on average.

It's amazing how much of a difference it makes living that close to the Pacific. You are further north than I am by quite a bit and it is much warmer there. We can see night time lows go down between -15 and -20F but usually it doesn't get much colder than -10.

Yes. Pacific ocean makes all the difference in our case. We have lots of rain in the winter and no snow. Not all plants like that much of moisture.

Yeah, I would think that much moisture would kill most of my daphnes. I have a Sequoia that I have grown for two years and last winter almost killed it, it looked so brown and dead this Spring I almost composted it. It looks ok now but winters here are too cold for a lot of plants I grow. Do redwoods grow where you live? I know they grow along the coast from California into Oregon or Washington but not sure how far north they go. The only redwood I can grow here is dawn redwood but I always loved the giant ones out west.

RK, I do have a winter daphne and it is doing fine in my garden, regardless of the rain...so far anyway. We can grow sequoia and redwoods here but I do not see them growing in the numbers and growing so naturally as in Oregon. I have seen them planted on another people properties.
