Something a Little Different for Fall Color

Usually when I do a post with photos of fall color – most (if not all) of the photos are trees and leaves. But when I was at Brookside Gardens recently – I found some wonderful early fall colors in the beds with the peppers (capsicum annum)! Even in early October the pepper plants were still producing beautiful peppers in bright colors. Here are a few of the ones I found the other day.

Garda Tricolor Peppers – I love all the purple peppers on these plants!!!

Chilly Chili peppers – what photographer could resist the shades of orange & red in these peppers?

    Your photos are breathtaking! I love this new spin on fall; I had NO idea that peppers started out in that vibrant purple! I love it!
