Fun fact: leaves do not just ‘turn yellow’ in autumn. Actually, the green color disappears from the leaf, making room for the -already and always present- red and yellow colors. 🍁🍁🍁 (for protection leaves get cut off from water in colder seasons, which make the chlorophyll decrease - and this chlorophyll is responsible for the green color)

This Solanum dulcamara (bittersweet) is in afterbloom. Even after fruits. But we all know, there’s always new flowers next year! The substances in this plant have been said to treat several injuries, bruises and even ringworm. Just so you know; fatal human poisonings are rare, but several cases have been documented..

Autumn gives us lots of after bloom (personal favourite). Like this Dipsacus pilosus, or small teasel. Some late year sun beam (after many rains) and we have a colorful composition 🤗
