Today ’s photograph are from Chris Neumann in Wisconsin ( we visited him at oeuvre back in AprilHEREand at home in SeptemberHERE ) . Chris sent me these photo onNovember 11th . He said,“Here are more photos from my work at Oakwood Village Prairie Ridge continuing aid retirement community . It ’s a cold , dreary , showery twenty-four hours with a petty snow here in Madison . But it ’s also the last real day of fall according to the weather forecasts . Tonight the polar vortex gets us with highs in the mid-twenties and lows in the teens for the foreseeable future . So I decided to snap some pic around campus before we hit the deep freezing . “Gorgeous , Chris ! You have som much fall colour in your grasses . The hayfield and the stream bed are arresting . Thanks so much for checking back in !

Crabapple tree with ‘Lo-Gro’ fragrant sumac behind.
Prairie near the Pioneer Prairie independent living building. Big bluestem and indian grass dominate this tall prairie planting. They make for great fall and winter interest. The seed heads of the wildflowers – pale purple coneflower, gray-headed coneflower, beebalm, ox-eye sunflower, stiff goldenrod and many more – provide food for the winter birds.
One of the fall displays. This one is by the entrance to the Health and Rehab Center. ‘Redbor’ kale, flowering kale, rooster tail grass (sedge), ‘Midnight Rose’ heuchera, ‘Yellow Belgium’ mum, and, of course, pumpkins!
Dry stream bed between the Health and Rehab Center and the Knoll Memory Care Unit. Proves that weed barrier under gravel does no good. ‘Caesar’s Brother’ Siberian iris and ‘Husker Red’ penstemon have seeded themselves into the gravel along with LOTS of weeds. The weeds we pull.
Prairie near Settler’s Ridge independent living building. Last of the New England aster blooming.
Crabapples
The meadow in the Meadow’s assisted living courtyard. ‘Halward’s Silver’ spirea, ‘Northwind’ switchgrass, ‘The Blues’ little bluestem, and prairie dropseed provide color. There are over two thousand bulbs waiting for spring in this area as well.
Close up in the Meadow’s meadow. ‘The Blues’ little bluestem, ‘Munstead’ English lavender, prairie dropseed, ‘Six-Hills Giant’ catmint, and ‘Lo-Gro’ fragrant sumac.
Swamp white oak.
At the Rockwall Garden near Settler’s Ridge. Lambs' ears, Sedum ‘Red Cauli’, catmint.
Part of the fall display in front of Settler’s Ridge. Kale, cabbage, mums, gourds, and pumpkins.
Tropicals and tender perennials in their winter home dreaming of warmer days to come. These are the ones that require light and water over the winter. Off photo to the right are the potted bananas and tropical smokebushes, sans leaves, and the elephant ear corms in their peat-filled plastic bags. These will not be watered again until spring.
