The first red of the season

· 7 Comments ·

The leaves of sumac trees are the earliest to turn red.I took this photo a few years ago in September in the Luisenpark in Mannheim, a rather large park which was the site of the Bundesgartenschau in 1975 and again in 2023, This is a biennal horticultural show which changes venues. My photo is from before 2023 in the “old” park but I don’t know how much the lake was changed for ’23.

Staghorn sumac. Even the Latin name qualifies for this challenge: rhus typhina. The French (sumac vinaigrier) and German (Essigbaum) common names translates as vinegar tree.
