Vernon in Virginia). The gumballs fell all over the yard and my parents paid us a penny for each one we collected in a bag.

It is very striking. It would have been interesting to see the Sweetgums in a Fall color.

I enjoy going on searches when I get home to learn more. I don't think they were flowers those last two photos. I am going to go back next growing season, take a photo of them and ask at the visitors center. All the best to you too John :)DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-89477835274990312212017-11-11T15:30:22.571-05:002017-11-11T15:30:22.571-05:00Hi Denise,

Whatever it is, it is beautiful. <br /><br />If not for those spiky seed things on sweetgums, I would for sure have at least one, and maybe two or three. They are my favorite tree in fall. Their leaves turn such a wide range of colors. Most of the trees I see have a range, but every now and then one will be mainly one color.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-18049192461825634902017-11-11T12:01:39.089-05:002017-11-11T12:01:39.089-05:00Thanks Lea, you have a wonderful weekend too.Thanks Lea, you have a wonderful weekend too.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-11714990767507055842017-11-11T08:46:03.203-05:002017-11-11T08:46:03.203-05:00Beautiful flowers, and I love the black ornamental...Beautiful flowers, and I love the black ornamental peppers!<br />Have a wonderful week-end!Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201714466868118083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-86233570190111631452017-11-10T20:30:15.539-05:002017-11-10T20:30:15.539-05:00They certainly are.
