Description
As I was walking in Fort Tryon Park (New York City) this week, I noticed the interesting colors and patterns of the decaying ornamental leaves. It's a different kind of autumn beauty-- not the flaming colors of oak and maple tree leaves, but a slow disintegration revealing pale lacy leaf "skeletons" surrounded by red brown lines of decay and the greens of the still surviving sections.
Per Wikipedia: "Some ornamental plants are grown for showy foliage. Their foliage may be deciduous, turning bright orange, red, and yellow before dropping off in the fall, or evergreen, in which case it stays green year round. Some ornamental foliage has a striking appearance created by lacy leaves or long needles, while other ornamentals are grown for distinctively colored leaves, such as silvery-gray groundcovers and bright red grasses, among many others."
