When looking for the emergence of colorful and interesting fall foliage, keep in mind that fall is starting to reach our ponds.
The Arrow Arum (Peltandra virginica) is starting to turn into its peculiar yellow-green hue and the Fragrant Water Lily pads (Nymphea odorata) are darkening into reds and browns.
Both soon will “peak” and sink. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on September 23 [pond] and 25 [leaf and pads], 2022.)
