The change from green to red started way back in late June. Most people don’t notice it. The change in leaf color is quite subtle but it really does start that early, many months before this climax.

Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida) now, showing off its reds. Scarlet berries and leaves so rich red they go beyond just red to a very deep crimson.

Two weeks more and these leaves will have fallen to the ground. Leaving the scarlet berries inviting birds to many meals.
