A Look at the Bushes Once More

For really colorful Fall posts, check out Dave at Home Garden who's encouraging people to participate in posting their Fall Colors and leaving a note at his site. :-)

These first couple of bright red bushes are the Euonymus alata "Compactus" Burning Bushes. You can see a PMJ Rhododendron squished between them. The BB on the right is exceptionally beautiful.
(Planting Circle #1)
Can you even see the bright red berries?

As we back away from the garage, this is "Planting circle #2."
Here you see another BB and leaves of a redbud tree.
(looking carefully to the right, you can still glimpse "planting circle #1)

Again, backing away a bit further,
now you can see the redbud tree with its golden fall foliage
(and zillions of seeds... do you want some?).
There was no ID on this bush, which I've always assumed
was also a Burning Bush until Fall. Do YOU know what it is?

A little closer view of the leaves. I really like the color,
as its an interesting contrast to the other bushes along the driveway.
This may be my last "colorful" Fall post.

*PostScript: I'm feeling embarrassed, as I'm remembering this is a forsythia! I've looked online and have found three forsythia with purplish foliage. I hope someone can help me provide a Real ID! I'm sorry if I've thrown people off-base!
