Are you happy or disappointed with your fall foliage colors trhis year?

Indiana, and the colors are great, although we didn't have as severe a drought as the southern part of the state. Also, temperature has a great deal to do with triggering color change in leaves. Once they know that fall is coming they stop photosynthesizing and storing the fuel from the leaves - hence the color change. Your lack of strong colors could have as much to do with temps as with water during the summer. (Dry winters will affect trees as well.)

I live in New England and the colors in my own area( White Mt's of NH) were the best I have seen in a few years. We have a lot of sugar maples that account for much of the pretty colors NE gets.

I just returned from Zion National Park where the colors were fantastic. I swear you'd think some parts of the park were ablaze!!

I am in Wisoncsin and we usually have beautiful fall colors and we have had plenty of rain so I don't know why but the fall just wasn't a fall this year....maybe we should blame it on global warming?! Smile!

I've seen the most diverse colorings I've seen while living in this part of Oregon, 15 years or so on and off...

I'm in the southeast and the colors were bright and majestic this year, far from the predicted blah by forecasters.

dissappointed, the drought has had loads of our trees brown for mosst of the end of summer, and alot of the plants had a hard time recivering from our black easter frosty snap.

next year will hope fully porove to be better.
