Turkistan Burning Bush / Euonymus nanus turkmenistanicus

Turkistan Burning Bush / Euonymus nanus turkmenistanicus
I am SO stressed out! Just spent the last three hours, while a technician went through my whole computer remotely, deleting every virus that has accumulated. I was told that I phoned them just in time, as I was not far away from losing everything on my computer. I always have Norton installed on my computer, but apparently the last three months I have not had Network Security working on my computer. Can you believe I had 5,614 viruses and if I had reached 6,000, everything would have been lost? Yikes! Funny, as the last few days, I have been backing up my photos to external hard drives and a flash drive. A costly morning, but now my computer is fine and I have a five-year Security. Just went to Google and discovered that all my endless bookmarks have disappeared ... sigh. Oh, well, I guess I start all over again. Before all this, I was on Facebook and had clicked on a video link from a friend's Facebook page. Suddenly, my whole screen was filled with the Virus alert. I don't know if that link was the actual cause of all this problem, or if it was 'the last straw'. Thankful for the clear help from the technician! Much appreciated.

Our botany season has come to an end and so, on 11 September 2018, our main Naturalist had a group of us visit his amazing garden and for a walk to look at wild and garden plants in his neighbourhood. This attractive bush caught our eye, with its gorgeous colour.

"A sprawling, somewhat upright shrub with fine textured leaves that may turn reddish purple in fall; main attribute is showy pink capsules and bright red fall colour; will benefit from a frequent pruning to keep it in control.

Turkistan Burning Bush has bluish-green foliage throughout the season. The narrow leaves turn an outstanding brick red in the fall. The flowers are not ornamentally significant. It produces pink capsules from late summer to mid fall." From the link below.

Not the greatest weather, but at least the rain kept away. I think more rain is in the forecast for the next week, which is a pity, as the fall leaves will all be on the ground before we know it.
