| Trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans) has been flowering for a couple of months now. The water droplets in the photo are courtesy of the arboretum's sprinklers. Although, over the past couple of days we have had some rain. |
 |
| Fruits of the persimmon tree (Diospyros virginiana) blend in with the leaves. They aren't ripe yet, but getting bigger. |
 |
| The red buckeyes (Aesculus pavia) still have most of their leaves and their fruits are conspicuous. |
 |
| The big-leaf snowbells (Styrax grandifolia) are covered in little fruits. |
 |
| There is only one, but very large, nut on the little pignut hickory (Carya glabra). |
 |
| Mexican plum (Prunus mexicana) fruits are ripening on the branch. Much of the fruit has dropped to the ground early. |
 |
| Louisiana catchfly (Silene subciliata) flowers are a brilliant red. There are several nice patches scattered throughout the arboretum. |
 |
| We're waiting on Magnolia grandiflora to reveal its bright red seeds. |
 |
| Cones are hanging from the branches of the spruce pine (Pinus glabra). |
 |
| The stunning fruits of the French mulberry (Callicarpa americana) bushes are typically a sign of the end of summer, transitioning to fall. There are approximately 10 significant bushes throughout the arboretum, with only one or two bushes showing off their ripening berries. |
